Don't tell me you believe the food police... they change every few years. Now eggs don't raise your cholesterol. Eat what you like. You're going to die anyway one day, enjoy life! These people likely have agendas or so premise where they throw out everything that does not agree with the "premise", then they state their "facts" as if they really are facts....
There may well be some 'conspiracy' involving food scientists and nutritionists... who knows.
Then again, they might just be presenting the 'facts' according to the best evidence available, and then updating those 'facts' as new evidence is uncovered. It's sort of how science works. I'm certain that the 'best evidence' available once 'proved' the earth was flat, and that our planet was the centre of the solar system. Until some 'better' evidence came along.

Butter, eggs, lard, bacon..er becan, ham, RED MEAT.... are all good for you. They are lying. These things are natural foods.
Hmm. Most of those things are only edible to most modern Homo sapiens if they've been cooked, or processed. So I wouldn't class them as 'natural', in the strictest sense. As a process, cooking changes the chemistry of food to make it more digestible.
I've long been a proponent of the theory that mastering fire and learning to cook raw food was one of the major evolutionary drivers in early man. Most animals 'waste' large parts of their lives eating enough raw food to survive on. As cooked food is usually much more efficiently digested, our ancestors could afford to spend less time eating and more time sourcing their food.
This also allowed our brains to further increase in size. Brains need a
lot of energy to run on, so being able to fuel them became easier as cooking developed. Bigger brains led to better ways to hunt, kill, survive, cook. Hence even
bigger brains could develop, and so on.
And then the FSF arrived. The peak of human evolution if ever there was.
