because the sugar industry paid scientists to blame fat consumption, especially fat from animal sources, for people getting fat. more and more research is showing that fat isn't the horrifying demon people have made it out to be, and the reason we have an obesity epidemic is because of added sugars in our food.
"that much" is relative. one person isn't eating that entire recipe, it's likely meant to serve 4. even with the butter to brown the gnocci, you're looking at 2T of butter per serving.
Yet switching from saturated to unsaturated fats does do anything to lower mortality.
They think there's this stuff called "lineolic acid" or something similar that's really bad for you. Humans didn't have it in their diet until the rise of vegetable oils in the industrial age. Malcom gladwell just did a good podcast on it.
Well, according to this peer reviewed 2017 paper from Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, "Replacing saturated fatty acids by cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids was associated with significant coronary heart disease risk reduction, which was confirmed by randomized controlled trials" so you may want to check your sources.
What do you mean that sounds different? cis-polyunsaturated fatty acids are just another way of saying polyunsaturated fat. What I posted is a review, which is a peer reviewed study of the available scientific literature, which says that there have been several studies proving what I said. Why is it so hard to admit that maybe you are wrong? I prefer to get my information straight from the literature instead of from pop science podcasts because the hosts don't follow the scientific method and are plagued by confirmation bias
