This, Harcombe said, brings practitioners back to ‘advising real food’. One obstacle is that many so-called experts still confuse saturated fatty acids with processed foods, she said, before listing the primary sources of saturated fat in the American diet as pizza, desserts, sweets, tacos and ready meals. These are not real foods, she said. If those preaching conventional ‘wisdom’ would just tell people not to eat processed, junk foods, ‘we could find agreement. But call it what it is. Stop calling it saturated fat, because it is predominantly junk.’
