I would like to believe that before a major push from government and health organizations to encourage people to eat less fat, there was strong evidence that reducing dietary fat and cholesterol correlated with significant health improvement.

That’s because it doesn’t exist, of course. We have been tragically misled for about 30 years.
This is N=2 but my wife and I switched to a low-carb/high-fat diet last summer and we are both at our ideal weight, higher energy than we have had in many years, and feeling absolutely fantastic. I think this is where the current metabolic science is taking us.

Their recommendation for consuming 5-12 servings of breads, cereals, pasta, 'whole grains' per day is like telling people they need to drink more soda.
