I'm listening. Interesting.
I have some insight into other historical aspects of food health. I was raised Seventh-Day Adventist, and through the late 70s and 80s I was raised vegetarian. An SDA university called Loma-Linda University in So.Cal did "health" research on what foods are healthy and what isn't healthy. Only problem is, they were SDA, and the SDA have a prophetess named Ellen G. White who wrote many books claiming what is and isn't healthy back around 1900. So of course Loma Linda University always found out that Ellen G. White was correct. That's not science. But it was published as scientific research. Back in those days, very few other people were doing research on what foods are healthy. And so their results tainted the entire field for decades.
