Shifting Dietary Trends and Health Outcomes

Recent dietary trends indicate a significant decrease in the consumption of red meat, butter, and saturated fats over the past decades, alongside a dramatic increase in chicken intake and vegetable oils. Despite following the guidelines recommended by various health organizations, such as the American Heart Association, the rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases continues to escalate. The data suggests that there is a disconnect between these changes and the health outcomes, which raises questions about what constitutes a healthy diet. This historical shift away from traditional fats towards processed oils and carbohydrate-rich foods has not led to the improved metabolic health that experts had anticipated.
