Not to the whole truth but what he says makes sense

What does he say? The nazi bar formerly known as twitter seems to be blocking me.

WHen I met my wife she was very critical of the "Butter is bad" stuff
she reckoned that a small amount of butter was better for you than the processed low fat stuff pushed as an alternative

Butter is also processed! It don't come out of the cows like that. It depends what butter and what marg, but all else being equal, less is probably better.

However, a lot fo whatthe government said was accurate

they just didn't jump on the food industry when it said that their over processed high sugar were the greater thing for health ever
ratehr than pushing the lowfat due to eating nutritious stuff like fruit and plain veg
That message was out there
but as always, the high profit products had advertising that drowned out the stuff that was good

Agree with that.

My recent blood test and diabetic review show my cholesterol, both good and bad, are just fine exactly where it should be my diabetic nurse tells me.

It's the fat good, carbs bad argument.

Butter is also processed! It don't come out of the cows like that. It depends what butter and what marg, but all else being equal, less is probably better.

Marge is classed as ultra-processed, butter isn't. The definitions are here.

I haven't watched it, because I'm not interested in food faddists on social media. However I wonder what his medical qualifications are. I'm going to hazard a guess at zero.

For a properly scientific take on it, suggest reading the Tim Spector books. “Spoon Fed” is very thought provoking
