[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Ah. RDN. Those lovely ghouls who helped convince us all that dietary fat was the devil, that satiating butter, animal fat and egg yolks were worse for us than anything, that if we put butter on vegetables we might just as well not eat them. The period in which that was the advice coincided with America’s astonishing weight gain. Hmm.[/quote]

No honey. Do you need a refresher course on the difference between "source" and "messenger"?  Or maybe an RD hurt your family dog as a child, or something?

The scapegoat you're looking for is the USDA at the behest of elected officials from Midwestern farm states where commodity crops are grown.

How the Ideology of Low Fat Conquered America 
Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences, Volume 63, Issue 2, April 2008,

In relevant part:
[b][u]"[t]he low-fat diet for weight reduction was already well in place before physicians and scientists began promoting it for cardiovascular health in the 1950s[/u][/b]. The low-fat diet was part of our dieting tradition before the ideology of low fat conquered America."

Struck a nerve, did I? Your sources confirm what I said.  :lol: [/quote]

The cited works contradict what you claimed, that dieticians were the root cause of the low-fat diet advice.  Contradict is different than confirm.  Enjoy your atherosclerosis, though!

You can’t read, you hypersensitive RDN! I said “Those lovely ghouls who helped convince us all that dietary fat was the devil” Did or did not dieticians convey the low fat dogma to patients? I didn’t say the invented it (thanks, Ancel!), I said they helped convince us.

Also, why assume I’m developing atherosclerosis? Or wish it on someone? I’m confused what kind of angry defensive medical professional with a god complex might suggest that the dietary advice of an RDN is not infallible and in fact helped perpetrate the National obesity crisis.[/quote]

+1 RDs endorsed Kraft singles as a health food:

And they still recommend a low fat diet. [/quote]
