I immediately think of butter, fat, dairy, and eggs. We were all told around the 1980’s to avoid them as they will make you obese, raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Until pretty recently the American FA was still saying are all bad, then it went to “in moderation” etc. In fact it was all enjoyed and quite healthy up to the late 1970’s and now again it is basically back in most people’s diets.
Actually, we’re discovering, other foods are often the cause of those symptoms, but don’t let me knock the advertising industry for fast and processed foods ;-)
sugar industry pays big money to blame everything else while they dump sugar in EVERYTHING
even bread is sweet
Anything with a “Foundation” or a “Board of” behind it, seems to get lobbying rights to veto any changes, i.e. to preserve their status quo ;-)
Supposedly too, you used to be able to commission a “research project” and define it’s scope nice and narrow, and get just the results you’d like to have published to support the “no change”. It does take a lot of money to be able to do this, though.
Fat was attacked by big sugar.
Dairy and Eggs are very bad for you and it’s only recent that it’s been taken off of Canada’s Food Guide.
