So we kind of have to talk about cholesterol any time we talk about seed oils. So 1900, no real heart attacks in the population. Most doctors had never even seen a heart attack. Heart attacks became a thing in the zeitgeist in the United States in the 1950s when Eisenhower had his first heart attack. And I think it was 1955 that he had his first heart attack.

And that was around the time of a guy named Ancel Keys, who was very sort of opinionated. And he did this study called the Seven Countries Study, which he published later, that associated saturated fat consumption with higher levels of cholesterol and heart disease. But in retrospect, we know that he cherry picked the data. He excluded countries where that association doesn't actually hold true.

He included countries where it did hold true, but then he excluded places like France, Germany, and Switzerland where they eat a lot of saturated fat, but they don't have higher rates of heart disease.

But nevertheless, this faulty study based on cherry picking because of Ancel Keys' sort of persuasiveness and this obsession with heart disease in the 1950s because Eisenhower had multiple heart attacks, And Eisenhower's cardiologist, Paul Dudley White, was influenced by Ancel Keys.

We suddenly began to believe, as an American people, that saturated fat, which raises cholesterol in many individuals, and we can talk about that, is a cause of heart disease. And then... We'll table the discussion about cholesterol as a cause of heart disease for the moment, but we'll get back to that.

So for years and years now, USDA policy around dietary guidelines has been based on the paradigm that saturated fat causes heart disease. And so if saturated fat causes heart disease, it must be bad. We must eat less butter. We should be eating margarine instead of butter, right? Tallow has gone out of our population. Most people don't even know what tallow is. You never see lard.

What's healthier is Mazzola corn oil. And there are ads from the 1960s and 70s from Miss Ola Korno saying like, Susie polyunsaturated her family tonight. They're just, they're so funny to see.
