Big sugar paid Harvard et al to point the CVD boner at fats instead of sugar, namely saturated. Wrong. Dr. Mary Enid correctly identified trans fats as the real problam. Funny that sugars will cause fat Genesis. A body can not accommodation make. We're suppose to hunger. Good things happen when we fast. Even the Bible gets gluttony right. This was back in a day in age when you might eat a single meal a day.
AIDS really has nothing to do with this discussion. Most scientists believe in imaginary deities. So what? Does that mean God exists? I doubt it. Moving on.
Consensus isn't science. By consensus, then olive oil is "high in saturated fats."
The major problem with saturated fats is there is no problem. There's no mechanism to explain it. It's just an association.
Dr Enid correctly identified trans fats as unhealthy decades before the consensus caught up.
> The healthy dietary pattern was characterized by a higher intake of fruits, whole grains, legumes, vegetables, milk, and other dairy products, whereas the unhealthy dietary pattern was characterized by a higher intake of red and processed meat, alcohol, and both refined and sugar-sweetened beverages.
Can't help but feel that the results would've been more informative if they excluded alcohol. We already know alcohol causes cancer, with this setup we can't really tell how much of the difference was the food and how much was the drinking.

Give it a few years, and your pancreas might very well come knocking with type II news.
At that point, the 'x' in your equation will carry a lot more weight than you might be able to reckon right now, especially if you have children by then.
50/50 on that. Had a near miss there. Borderline type 2. Blasted weight down from 115kg to 65kg and changed diet.
Now I still eat pizza, pasta, bread and chocolate all the time. Just reasonable amounts of it as part of a balanced diet. And not the crap shovelled out by fast food restaurants.
GJ! Insulin resistance is much more a function of total caloric load and expenditures than composition. It's called metabolic syndrome, not high glycemic index syndrome. You reworked your lifestyle and metabolism and came back into the "zone" before you fell off the cliff.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/stomach-c... suggests Mongolian, Japanese and Korean diets are the worst. What do their diets have in common? High traditional intake of distilled alcohol, pickled foods, and meat. IIRC pickled foods are alkaline and weaken the stomach's acidic environ, exposing stomach lining to compounding damage from alcohol, chilli, etc.
OK so pH from pickling per se is out... but highly salted foods can be basic. Seawater is basic and Japanese consume loads of fish. Anyway, even if that's the the cause, it's the only similarity I can think of between those three worst performing diets. Maybe also consumption of ferns?
Salt does not affect the pH of a solution. pH is the ratio of H to OH atoms in a solution, salt is NaCl, which provides neither.
Seawater is alkaline, not acidic due to dissolved coral structures (carbonate hardness). Acidification of seawater is a major concern for coral life since they can't deposit calcium into their skeletons below like 7.4 pH

This study lumps read meat with processed foods and alcohol consumption. Not much to go on for conclusions at that rate
That is not a well reasoned position to take.

Just eat it in moderation.

Anyhow, better n happy years than (n + x) miserable years, and where x remains unknown.

How much better do you feel?
