It's a systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials with 13,532 participants.

Which still do not make it a representative source of the full literature, for example this is a review of 15 different studies that include almost 60,000 people and that completely contradict your source (and that strangely is absent from the discussion, which is not appropiate)

The 2025 review I linked to addresses previous meta analyses, and describes the many faults/limitations of the 2020 review you provided.

So saturated fats are not a problem.

That alleged correlation is mainly based on observational studies, which I know you don't give much credence. RCTs say the opposite:

Still incorrect, one single review do not represent the full literature on the subject,

It's a systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 randomized controlled trials with 13,532 participants.

They concluded: "The findings indicate that a reduction in saturated fats cannot be recommended at present to prevent cardiovascular diseases and mortality."

One at a time; be patient. 

RFKjr is already promoting ultraprocessed food as healthy, and in this case something full of calories, refined sugars and fat.

We should not expect the highly processed standard American diet to immediately eliminate all processed foods. That too will improve one step at a time; be patient.

Sugar certainly is a serious issue. Saturated fat is only an issue when combined with sugar (or other carbs).

Saturated fats themselves are correlated with cardiovascular disease

That alleged correlation is mainly based on observational studies, which I know you don't give much credence. RCTs say the opposite:

Nonsense. Saturated fat and sugar are the real issues here.

Sugar certainly is a serious issue. Saturated fat is only an issue when combined with sugar (or other carbs).

It would be great if he went after all harmful ingredients, even if they are "natural" too.

One at a time; be patient. It will take time to reverse all the damage caused by corporate controlled regulators and media.

Now if someone can explain how these actual food source-derived sources, not petrochemicals - are somehow worse?

It's because, well, you know, RFKjr "bad"...

Ukraine has turned into a graveyard for US and European weapons.

"We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need, because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then bombs everybody in the evening. But there's a little bit of a problem there. I don't like it," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington.

Trump is in no position to complain; he bombed Iran while they were still negotiating....

More deserving than Obama, but still a big NO!

They should give the prize to Francesca Albanese.

They claim malfunction only because they got caught. There is more than enough evidence that they intentionally target children, with a long history snipers targeting children. Many years ago, IDF soldiers were wearing T-shirts with an image of a pregnant woman in cross-hairs and the slogan "1 Shot 2 Kills".

I don't see peace in the region as long as Netanyahu is in power.

He's somewhat worse than previous israeli leaders, but I don't expect much change after he leaves.

The US govt. of both Biden and Trump administration has complicit with these crimes by providing weapons and turn eyes shut !

Oh, we can blame every single US admin since the 1940s for this mess, except perhaps JFK.

some people are upset because they are being manipulated by bad actors that are well known for lying for personal profit.

Yes, that's exactly what Jay and I have been saying....

The information given in the article speaks for itself. Vaccination works.

Yes, vaccines have a long history of offering protection, by injecting a known amount of antigen. But in recent history, people have been subjected to injections laced with toxic metals as well as gene therapies that reprogram your own cells (throughout your body, even crossing the blood brain barrier) to produce uncontrollable amounts of toxic antigens for many months, if not years...

People are rightfully upset, and have every right to be very skeptical of health authorities. Hopefully, RFKjr will restore the integrity of the health authorities and institutions.

And to make things worse the self-described incompetent layman that is in charge recommends for people to stop focusing on prevention of the disease...

That is false; RFKjr recommends getting vaccinated for measles.

Nothing wrong with also informing the public of the benefit of vitamin A against measles.

Vaccine hesitancy thanks to the efforts of antivaxxer groups misleading people with misleading or even openly false information is not an american monopoly...

No, the vaccine hesitancy we have now is the result of pharma-promoted groups world-wide misleading people with misleading or even openly false information...

Thanks to the immense ignorance and aversion to science of conservatives and the MAGA regime.

How would that explain the much higher rate (per capita) observed in Alberta?

(2) Pharma companies save lives. That's irrefutable.

Yes, they save lives, but they also cause sickness and death. It's very important to choose carefully, or find a trustworthy doctor. The main goal of pharma companies is to be profitable.

Same with food companies. They provide us with healthy nutritious foods, but they also provide us lots of crappy foods that are best avoided.

Some podcasts are much more informative than the mainstream media

Which podcasts? Which outlets of the mainstream media?

I have yet to find one MSM outlet that is honest and not influenced by its sponsors.

As for podcasts, it sometimes depends on the guest they have. For example, Rogan has many great guests, but he also had people like Sanjay Gupta and Peter Hotez on...

Bart Kay is good.

If you want to see something very related to the above article, here is a recent interview of Nina Teicholz, who investigated the corporate influence and evidence of the dietary guidelines:

Alternative media podcast watchers ...

Some podcasts and much more informative than the mainstream media.

and conspiracy theorists with unnamed doctorates are the people to trust on issues like this.

Oh, another poster who is assuming that the "conspiracy theories" are wrong. You don't think that massive amounts of money big pharma and big food spend on media, regulators, and politicians does not influence decisions or which narratives are repeated on the MSM? And I guess the "revolving door" must just be coincidental...

Their input is so good, they sometimes praise their own input.

Ah yes, reminds of discussions involving the Chikungunya virus...

Everything you listed is literally the opposite of what RFK is doing.

Every part has been widely reported, what is the point in living in denial of reality?

Being reported in the MSM does not make it fact; very often the opposite is reported.

For those whose reality is based on MSM narratives, truth does seem like denial...

So when RFKjr introduces regulations to make food healthier, isn't that a good thing? Wouldn't someone in a healthy mental state acknowledge this?

Not when it comes from a place of conspiracy theories.

Articles like this:

Thank you for bringing to my attention an editorial, whose authors (2 out the 3 authors) work for a company "which has received research funding in the past 12 months from Beef Checkoff, General Mills, Hass Avocado Board, Matinas BioPharma, National Dairy Council, and PepsiCo."

Well done Tucker Carlson! While other media either Right or even Left, just like to speculate without any confirmation.

Yeah, the MSM avoid talking with these leaders, so that they can continue to push their false narratives.

When somebody rails against the government all of the time that is a sign of mental illness. The US is one of the least regulated countries, hence our unhealthy foods.

So when RFKjr introduces regulations to make food healthier, isn't that a good thing? Wouldn't someone in a healthy mental state acknowledge this?

This humanitarian disaster started Oct 7th, 2023, so now of course Trump's trying fix another Biden Admin mess.

Naah, this humanitarian crisis started in the 1940s. All US admins since then are to blame.

They're following science, just ignoring "the science"...

Signing a declaration doesn't mean whatever you're declaring is true. It just means you believe it is true. If any of these people wants to"debunk" anthropogenic climate change, they can publish a study with their evidence.

Yeah, except that we learned during the ClimateGate scandal how journals fired editors who let such papers to be published...

Japan needs American advanced weaponry.

We've seen in recent days in israel, Iran, and Ukraine that US weaponry are pretty useless. No need for them, especially at the current price.

Shame on israel and the US for continuing this genocide. Both of them are committing this genocide, they should both be held accountable, be punished, and forced to pay compensation.

Time for Japan to stop hosting US military basis.

Yes!

I've believe that for many years. And now even more so, seeing how they've been completely unable to defend their allies.

Tell them to go home, and they'll be able to put that money to much better use.

It may also help to:

-- drive (instead of being a passenger)

Reminds me of my playing FPS games, like Call of Duty. I can play for hours with no problems, but if I watch someone else playing, I rapidly feel sick.

baselessly assuming this happens when compared with "instant noodles, bread" when in fact the only two diets that are described for the comparison are the ones in this article.

I did not "assume" anything. I simply suspected that depressed people (or even people eating alone) are less likely to go through the trouble preparing a traditional meal.

In other words, no reason to assume that following a traditional diet was the reason for the lower incidence of depression. But that it's possibly just as likely (if not more) that the depression was the reason behind not adhering to the traditional diet.
