Dietary fats, carbohydrate, and progression of coronary atherosclerosis in postmenopausal women - PMC

The influence of diet on atherosclerotic progression is not well established, particularly in postmenopausal women, in whom risk factors for progression may differ from those for men. The objective was to investigate associations between dietary ...

The mean (±SD) total fat intake was 25 ± 6% of energy. In multivariate analyses, a higher saturated fat intake was associated with a smaller decline in mean minimal coronary diameter (P = 0.001) and less progression of coronary stenosis (P =0.002) during follow-up. Compared with a 0.22-mm decline in the lowest quartile of intake, there was a 0.10-mm decline in the second quartile (P = 0.002), a 0.07-mm decline in the third quartile (P = 0.002), and no decline in the fourth quartile (P <0.001); P for trend =0.001. This inverse association was more pronounced among women with lower monounsaturated fat (P for interaction =0.04) and higher carbohydrate (P for interaction =0.004) intakes and possibly lower total fat intake (P for interaction =0.09). Carbohydrate intake was positively associated with atherosclerotic progression (P =0.001), particularly when the glycemic index was high. Polyunsaturated fat intake was positively associated with progression when replacing other fats (P = 0.04) but not when replacing carbohydrate or protein. Monoun-saturated and total fat intakes were not associated with progression.

Caloric deficit diets do NOT work for long-term weight loss; rather, what you need to focus on is eating adequate fat and other nutrients and reducing sugar, carbs and processed foods:
 
Why "Calories In Calories Out" model is wrong... also, processed food is basically designed to make you obese because it screws with the hormones:

Mainstream media have latched onto stories such as the guy who had cholesterol oozing out of his hands to "prove" that healthy natural diet such as paleo and carnivore diets are "bullshit".

Vice.com wrote that:

One Florida man who had been strictly adhering to the carnivore diet for close to a year had cholesterol levels so astronomically high that actual cholesterol started seeping out through his skin.

Naturally, Vice completely misrepresented both the case itself and the carnivore diet. Whether this is stupidity or sheer dishonesty I do not know – most likely a combination of both. Nearly every claim they make about the diet is wrong

Big Food are trying to bypass the effect Ozempic has on people by inventing additives that negate the effect of the drug on hunger and keep people addicted to food regardless.



This is a perfect example of predatory capitalism at work. Just because a market for a product exists, that doesn’t mean that its consumption is necessarily good for society. The production of hyper-processed foods with cheap, addictive ingredients is a race to the bottom. There is no minimum standard of quality. People are expected to just eat whatever soup of toxic chemicals Tyson, Kraft, General Mills, and Cargill can throw together into something superficially resembling a foodstuff. Once their operations are accustomed to obtaining a particular degree of revenue, they cannot easily scale back. Consumers simply eating less food may be great for their personal health, but it’s terrible for these companies’ bottom lines and their shareholder satisfaction. They don’t see the 400 pound diabetic on a ventilator saying goodbye to her kids before her heart finally gives out. What they see is a line on a whiteboard going down. “Why is the line going down? The line must always go up!”

No, it isn't. capitalism is free market with voluntary transactions.
we don't have a free market. we have govt backed monopolies, also known as feudalism. hybridized with socialism.

we got a fuckton of regulation that is designed to kill competitors.
yet somehow none of these massive sprawling regulations protect us from said monopolies when they do the most heinous of shit.

also, its cute you think the solution is to ditch capitalism
USSR literally fed its people with radioactive cows from chernobyl.

And in this case that is in fact what's happening, the companies are competing for dietary decisions and are altering their products to drive a higher share. That they do so by opposite mechanisms turning it into an arms race in the customer's body does not make it "not capitalism". The only real question is at what point "satisfaction" by targeting appetite signaling turns into "induced demand" by chemical addiction, which is a very thorny issue given how food works.
