I agree, and I can understand this disbelief.

It is truly, truly difficult to believe that:

1. fat is good (everyone "knows" that fat is bad)
2. pasta is bad (everyone "knows" that "complex carbohydrates" are
"healthy")
3. margarine is bad (no, everyone knows that butter is bad)
etc.
4. meat is good (everyone "knows" meat has "cholesterol" and is "high in
fat")

It is so hard to fathom how "everyone" could get it so wrong that I can
understand people not believing. To believe what we believe here you need to
disregard almost every popular article in the press, and almost everything
other people say and do about nutrition. You have to be somewhat of a
pariah, a nutcase.
