Why are fats and salts still demonized in 2021? {VLOG}

In today’s NJroute22.com VLOG – we wonder why fat and salt are still demonized in 2021.

Seriously – as we educated ourselves about diet and nutrition over the past decade or more – we quickly “erased” our previously inaccurate ideas about fat and salt.

20 years ago – we believed “fat made us fat,” and that “salt was bad for the heart.”

Fast forward to today – and our mindset is the opposite.

FAT should be the most consumed nutrient – Salt should not be ignored

(Unprocessed) salt is an ESSENTIAL electrolyte. (And processed salt is the demon). Read Salt Your Way to Health for more on that!

However, the stigma associated with fats and salts is still as strong as ever.

People in our circle still say things like “this is bad, greasy, salty!” Despite our continual attempts to educate them on the misinformation of decades past.

It’s like that lie that stays with humanity regardless of the new information out there. The cognitive dissonance is strong enough to prevent a change in mindset for almost everyone.

But that is a story for another day.

Yet people still will fight tooth and nail to have their “sweets” just because they “deserve” them.

It’s a losing battle for sure.

We will be there for anyone – regardless of how late to the party they are. And welcome them with open arms!

It’s never too late!

Have a great day!
