I know some fads come and go - eggs are ok now, not load3d with cholesterol?
So what is the latest scientific information on what we should eat, and what we shouldn’t?
@lone wolf is a bit of a self-taught expert here...yeah, right out of left field. We got to talking, but figured a seperate thread is better.
The starting point was...what is the worst thing we eat, that we probably shouldn’t. 15 years ago...maybe a touch more...it was animal fats and oils. But we think that’s wrong. It’s sugar. Particularly refined sugar like the white sucrose you spoon into your coffee or tea, or the HIgh Fructose Corn Syrup which seems to be in EVERYTHING now.
Next worst is probably vegetable oils - including, I think, peanut oil, which I have used for years cause you can get it very hot before it smokes. But olive oil? Avacado oil (too expensive)? Just pure butter? Rendered duck fat (delicious for roasting)
I know that processed meats, cured meats, are pretty bad. They are a class 1 carcinogen - known to cause cancer. But ******* if bacon isn’t delicious, right?
So, what else is there. What do we think is ok, but isn’t. What do we worry about, but shouldn’t?
MSG? Meat? Animal fats? Flour? Artificial sweeteners? Burnt toast?
