1910: 100% animal fat. 0% seed oils: Diabetes, heart disease, and chronic disease rates extremely low.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

in 1900 percent of our oil was animal fat we ate carbohydrates they were not processed and we didn't have chronic disease
in in 1900 what percentage of the fat in our diet was animal fat 99 plus percent 99 and yet no chronic disease right right
for the most part there wasn't any seed oil in 1900 in the american diet people were eating exclusively tallow which is rendered b-fat or lard and the majority of pigs in 1900 were probably fed way better diets in their fed today the majority pigs today get corn and soy so we had animal fats which were much probably better for humans and they were essentially a hundred percent of the human diet of fats was animal fat maybe a little bit of olive oil but not even a whole lot in 1900 and so you're looking at butter tallow and lard as the main fats in the human diet and the rates of chronic illness were very low diabetes very low heart attacks very low cancer much lower
before 1900 99.99 of all of the fat in our diets were animal fats like tallow and butter and rates of those chronic illnesses were a fraction of what they are today
heart disease vanishingly rare obesity very very low diabetes very rare
