Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Important to note
Fat still isn't good for you. It's just that sugar is bad for you also.
Fat is an essential macronutrient. It's just that we consume way too much.
Just stay clear of transfat and saturated fat as much as possible, and you will be healthier.
Yes. Everything in moderation. I should've clarified what I said.
According to the sugar association, added sugars are also healthy in moderation. Whatever that means.
Sugar is not unnecessary nutrient. There is no minimum amount of sugar the human body needs or it will die.
Fat is necessary you will die if you don't eat fat at all.
Most fat is perfectly healthy, it's when it's heinously over processed or you eat too much that it's bad. Sugar also has an important place in a balanced diet, albeit much smaller.
Yes. Everything in moderation. I should've clarified what I said.
Maybe a dumb question, but is there a fat industry which could have lobbied against the sugar industry?
I think that'd be anyone selling high-fat products, but I don't know if they have a specific lobby. Fast food industry alone would support such effort I bet.
Well, there's big oil, but their lobbying agenda was pretty full already.
They were too busy taking a victory lap after pushing the idea of a "carbon footprint"
The meat industry wants you to believe carbs are the problem.
Depends on the fat.
There is active and vigorous debate about fat.

Fats from natural foods appear to be unquestionably good for you.
The consensus around sugar is slowly slowly painfully slowly agreeing that sugar is not good for you.
It's going to take us a century to undo the harm of the 1960s
Bro science here: I heard fat and sugar combined is a force multiplier. Easier for body to store fat in presence of sugar.
