The following comes from a slide presented by (?) at the Low Carb Down Under tour. You can click to enlarge, but here's what the slide says under the title "What changed in the 1900s?"
- Sat fat down 83%
- Veggie oil/margarine up 535%
- Sugar up 1150%
Now, no doubt there are changes in eating habits, and perhaps "down under" people changed their eating habits even more dramatically than we Americans have, or are purported to have. I've blogged many times that something's "off" with any stats indicating that Americans actually consume a low fat diet, but I'm not going to address the fat claims above. It's the sugar claim that just screams -- that can't be so?!
