This page is a disgrace. This website has tons of comments disputing the "facts" because it doesn't take much research/common sense to work out that "advice" like this is based on bad science.
Unfortunately, the majority of people don't care enough to think for themselves and instead trust the "authority" on diet and nutrition; in this country, the wonderful NHS.
Someone in a position of power needs to stand up to make a difference. All this nonsense about "we need to tackle obesity" is completely irrelevant when information like this is still the basis for being "healthy". It's a massive contradiction and is a dangerous game. No progress will be made as long as backwards thinking still takes precedent over real science.
"Eat less saturated fat" in itself is terrible advice. The NHS doesn't seem to understand the importance of context, hence why the "eatwell plate" is such a load of bologna. Do they think we're stupid? Probably, but I'm adamant it won't be like this forever. Maybe I should write a blog.
