Challenge Established Dietary Myths

Current recommendations of drinking three glasses of cow's milk daily for both adults and children stem from outdated beliefs linked to the exaggerated dangers of dietary fats, particularly saturated fats. This narrative began in the 1960s by Ansel Keys, who claimed saturated fat led to heart disease after President Eisenhower's heart attack, promoting low-fat, low-cholesterol diets. However, it's revealed that dietary cholesterol is largely unabsorbed, with 90% passing through the body untouched, as the body produces 99% of its cholesterol independently. The push for low-fat diets, endorsed by major health organizations, was built on flawed studies; all significant research over the decades has failed to substantiate the claim that saturated fat contributes to heart disease, exposing a significant misinformation in nutrition science.
