American Healthcare continues to go backward

The only problem with that internet story is that unlike trans-fats most seed oils, canola especially, are always shown to have health benefits relative to the lard and tallow he is advocating every time it is studied. And, no, not all studies are oil industry sponsored.
They have told a great and believable story. They just haven't given very good evidence for their story. At least not that I have seen, and this is a question I get asked all the time.
I know. I'm not advocating his story. I just thought it was interesting.
My rule of thumb has always been the more viscous the fat is at room temperature the less bad it is for you. Not 100% accurate but when you compare stuff like canola to coconut (which was supposed to be a superfood at one time) it can be true.
And yeah, I get asked the question all the time too, though I am far more likely to get asked what is worse for their blood sugar.
I think it was you that was talking about how artificially sweetened drinks drive appetite to make up the calorie deficit that the brain perceives from the drink, so you end up eating more and making up the calories. I talk to patients about that all the time, using the example of the person at the fast food counter ordering a double bacon cheeseburger, large fry and diet cola. But then, liquid sugars have the worst impact on blood sugar, so unsweetened drinks are best.
