This is just looking at trends in food. It doesn’t show that SFA aren’t bad.
I used to get annoyed at these kinds of posts. But nowadays I realise that people who ignore science for an ideology are betting their own health and life on such a premise. They will suffer the consequences of ignoring the science on the issue.
Cigarette smoking has gone down, but diabetes has gone up. I guess cigarettes aren’t bad for you, even though we have cohort data that divulge the opposite!
Availability of crack cocaine has gone down, but substance abuse has gone up. I guess crack cocaine isn’t addictive!
Are these our epistemic standards now? Jesus Christ.
This is honestly a pathetic attempt.

>During 24 to 30 years of follow-up, we documented 7,667 incident cases of CHD. Higher intakes of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and carbohydrates from whole grains were significantly associated with lower risk of CHD (hazard ratios [HR] (95% confidence intervals [CI]) comparing the highest to the lowest quintile for PUFA: 0.80 [0.73 to 0.88], p trend <0.0001; and for carbohydrates from whole grains: 0.90 [0.83 to 0.98], p trend = 0.003). In contrast, carbohydrates from refined starches/added sugars were positively associated with risk of CHD (1.10 [1.00 to 1.21], p trend = 0.04). Replacing 5% of energy intake from saturated fats with equivalent energy intake from either PUFAs, monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), or carbohydrates from whole grains was associated with 25%, 15%, and 9% lower risk of CHD, respectively (PUFAs: 0.75 [0.67 to 0.84]; p < 0.0001; MUFAs: 0.85 [0.74 to 0.97]; p = 0.02; carbohydrates from whole grains (0.91 [0.85 to 0.98]; p = 0.01). Replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates from refined starches/added sugars was not significantly associated with CHD risk (p > 0.10).
In the past, some people wanted to use corn oil and other industrial seed oils instead of natural fats like butter and lard because they thought it would create more jobs and help the farming industry. They also believed that these oils were healthier for people. However, we now know that using too many of these oils can be bad for our health and the environment.
