Field Notes
On changing your mind about food
A short history of dietary certainty, and what the pattern of reversal teaches
The past four decades have produced a series of public reversals on dietary fundamentals. Saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, eggs, salt, red meat, low-carb diets, seed oils. Each was confidently declared dangerous, then re-evaluated, sometimes reversed. The pattern of reversal is itself the lesson.
