I remember for a while Doctors and Scientists were scratching their heads over what was being called the French Paradox. The French has diets much higher in fat and a much lower instance of heart disease. I notice France was conveniently left off the chart.
Unfortunately there had been a full court press to demonize the idea there is a French Paradox snd to convince the French to abandon their traditional diet.
You are right, but the part about margarine being one molecule away from plastic is a common talking point that doesn't do much. Lots of stuff ar one molecule away from something. Take hydrogen and oxygen, two highly explosive gases, and you get water.
I’m glad I never gave up lard and butter!

I like bacon and don't see any point in frying it in oil when I have lard to hand.
The condemnation of fats was due to a very successful advertising campaign by the sugar industry IMHO.
As for margarine, I believe its one molecule away from plastic.

It's bit more than a talking point...
Big shampoo was behind margarine?
Joke if you couldnt tell. Perhaps a bad one. But I chuckled.
