Is it true that fat is bad for you...

Is it true that fat is bad for you, or is that just something the jews made up to deprive the goyim of proper nutrients to keep us weak and stupid?

the general consensus is leaning towards it being more or less harmless

Even people ignorant about basic nutrition haven't flat out thought that fat is bad for you in probably 20 years.

It is true that certain fats are bad for you, most notably saturated fats (i.e. animal fats) and refined oils. Fats from whole plant sources, especially nuts and seeds, as well as fishes are thought to be neutral to beneficial (it's too complex to sum up otherwise)

Oils and the fatty parts of meat do not contain any noticeable nutrients, they are just empty calories in the most literal sense. All of the minerals and vitamins that e.g. beef is priced for (zinc, iron, B2, B12) are found in the muscle tissue exclusively. Dairy fat contains some miniscule amounts of fat-soluble vitamins, but nothing to write home about.

Generally a higher fat intake from oil and animals is associated with excess energy consumption and resulting obesity, diabetes etc. Dietary fat also has both direct and immediate negative effects on the body (e.g. butter and refined olive oil clog your arteries for several hours after consumption, whereas walnuts improve endothelial function)

Except for the world health organization and about a dozen other top level international and national health focused groups.

Fat, especially animal fat, is high in saturated fat. Specifically the lauric, palmitic, stearic, and myristic fatty acids. Red Meats especially, and the fats of red meats are very high in the worst types of fatty acids and are well recognized as raising bad cholesterol levels.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fats – which are found in butter, cheese, red meat and other animal-based foods. Decades of sound science has proven it can raise your “bad” cholesterol and put you at higher risk for heart disease.Feb 12, 2016


The World Health Organization has recognized saturated fat as having the same confidence intervals in scientific study, and being just as bad for you, as transfats since 2003.

The only reason meaty saturated fats don't get the same ban as transfats is because of tradition of eating meat all around the world, and the extremely powerful dairy and meat lobbies in most major governments today.


This will get refuted by every meat head in existence that will take it as a personal attack.. but it's nothing personal. All of the science points to these conclusions and all medical organizations with any serious standing have accepted this as fact.

This is wrong

the human body needs fat to survive. like most things, too much of it can be bad.

100% these.

Every major scientific body pretty well agrees that animal fat is very bad for you. Heart and ciruclatory system problems, obesity, higher risk of many types of cancer, especially of the lower digestive tract.

The only reason everyone doesn't know this is, as another user pointed out, a combination of tradition and lobbying.

Eating less, or no, animal products is objectively far healthier.

No it's not bad for you. Like everything else it must be consumed in moderation.

>Oils and the fatty parts of meat do not contain any noticeable nutrients,
absolute retard detected. Even if you had scientific proof that animal fats do more harm than good, it's a fucking fact that you can starve on rabbit when on other meats you wont. Fat contains essential shit. it's not empty calories like sugar and you are retarded for thinking so.
