I don't believe than any of the nutritional research done today is 'morally safe' – it's almost all funded by vested interests and the only results to achieve wide publicity are those which benefit the industrial sponsors of it. The result is that all the 'healthy eating' propaganda is in my opinion complete rubbish. One only has to consider that, over the past 30 or so years the consumption of animal fats has gone down and down – in particular dairy products, especially full cream milk, and a 'fat' animal is now generally so lean as to be dry and tasteless. Yet the rate of coronary heart disease in this country and the incidence of obesity have gone up and up! And the tight-lipped reaction of the 'health' brigade to the popularity of the Atkins diet speaks for itself. http://www.health-heart.org/causes.htm is a interesting site on the subject of 'healthy eating'
