@OptConstantine @FreddyLA7 @FreddyLA7 a Texas A&M game at Kyle Field is an experience. My son was not interested in football at all until we took him to a TAMU game. Now he is a sophomore there and we have season tickets.

In 1978 a young researcher at the University of Maryland named Mary Enig published a paper in Federation Proceedings that should have changed the American food supply on the spot.

Enig was a lipid biochemist. She studied the molecular structure of dietary fats for a living. The official US government position at the time was that animal fat was driving the rise in cancer.

Enig pulled the actual consumption data. Animal fat intake had been flat or falling for decades. The fat that had been rising in lockstep with cancer rates was something else entirely.

Trans fat. From partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. The stuff in margarine, Crisco, and nearly every packaged food on the American shelf.

She published her critique. She named the real culprit.

The Institute of Shortening and Edible Oils responded within weeks. They disputed her math. They disputed her credentials. Her grants dried up. Conference invitations stopped. Universities stopped returning her calls. She was effectively blacklisted from her own field.

For the next thirty years trans fats stayed in nearly every processed food in America. Cookies. Crackers. Microwave popcorn. Coffee creamer. Fast food fries.

Then the heart disease data started coming in. Harvard's Nurses' Health Study found trans fats raised cardiovascular risk worse than any other fat measured. A 2006 New England Journal of Medicine paper by Mozaffarian and Walter Willett estimated trans fats were killing somewhere between 30,000 and 100,000 Americans a year.

In June 2015 the FDA finally ruled that partially hydrogenated oils were not generally recognized as safe. Manufacturers had until June 2018 to remove them.

Mary Enig died in September 2014. Nine months before the FDA ruling. Four years before the ban she had been demanding since 1978.

She was right for thirty-six years. They called her a crank for most of them.

That is the cost of being early.

Nina Teicholz was a New York journalist on a strict low-fat vegetarian diet that was not really working.

Then a magazine sent her to review fancy restaurants in Manhattan. For the first time in her adult life she ate full-fat meat, butter, and cream. She felt better. Sharper. Steadier. And the weight she had been fighting for years started falling off.

So she did what a good journalist does. She started asking where the war on fat actually came from.

Nine years of research. Hundreds of interviews. Every major diet-heart study reread.

In 2014 she published The Big Fat Surprise. The conclusion was simple. The case against saturated fat had never actually been made. It had been assumed, then defended.

In September 2015 the BMJ ran her investigation of the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Cherry-picked studies. Ignored randomized trials. Members with food and pharmaceutical funding. The committee had recommended a diet that no trial had ever shown to be safe or effective long-term.

The counterattack arrived in six weeks.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest organized a letter signed by more than 180 scientists demanding the BMJ retract her paper. The letter claimed eleven factual errors.

The BMJ did not retract.

They commissioned a year of external expert review. They corrected seven smaller technical points. They left her central thesis untouched. In December 2016 they confirmed the paper stands.

Teicholz pointed out something else in her response. Many of the 180 signatories had taken funding from the food and pharmaceutical industries she had criticized.

Since the book, study after study has confirmed her thesis. PURE. FASTER. The reanalyzed Minnesota Coronary Experiment. The official guidelines are quietly walking back their fat warnings without ever admitting why.

One reporter forced a peer-reviewed journal to publicly choose between her data and the establishment that funded the consensus.

When the establishment cannot refute you, they try to silence you.

It did not work.

@aricchen @TheAKGuy “Are these reconnaissance, sabotage assets, or part of a larger infiltration strategy?” The correct answer is YES. What level of punishment should be levied against these invaders?
