It's constant.  That's the low-fat "religion".  If the study found that
high blood sugar causes disease, they'll be sure to stick in
"high-fat foods cause disease" even if the study found the
opposite.  It's just a matter of faith, not fact.  If the facts
don't match, the facts are wrong; the faith is all.

Another pet peeve of mine is the "artery-clogging saturated fat";
you never see "saturated fat" in a popular article without that
"artery-clogging" ahead of it.
