UPDATE: The link is no longer a valid link. Even though I disagree with much of the Weston A. Price Foundation, I did find the article to be very well done. For proof of how good a Vegan Diet is, just see any Diabetic that worked with Dr. Neal Barnard and got to use the Vegan diet in his study. The Foundation is NOT Vegan nor is it Vegetarian. The whole point of reading this article is to be aware of how people lie and try to hush the truth about foods. People tend to benefit from research results that favor their original Hypothesis. Liars will always get caught in the end. Good research is really THE Key to Better Healthy Living.


THIS IS A DIRECT QUOTE FROM MARY ENIG'S ARTICLE BECAUSE I FEEL IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY READING! I only post it here to help get the word out. This is NOT the entire article, as I believe its apart of a much larger work. NO copyright infringement is intended, nor implied.

The Food Giants Fight Back

Enig's paper sent alarm bells through the industry. In early 1979, she received a visit from S. F. Reipma of the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers. Reipma was visibly annoyed. He explained that both his association and the Institute for Shortening and Edible Oils (ISEO) kept careful watch to prevent articles like Enig's from appearing in the literature. Enig's paper should never have been published, he said. He thought that ISEO was "watching out."

"We left the barn door open," he said, "and the horse got out."

Reipma also challenged Enig's use of the USDA data, claiming that it was in error. He knew it was in error, he said, "because we give it to them."
