Next time you read some medical journal on NCBI, please check the date on it.

Don’t use documents from 80s and 90s to arrive on any big conclusion. Journals written 5 years apart have completely different conclusions and findings so try to look up for the current ones. Last but not the least, always consult the experts. DO NOT self-diagnose

That's a myopic way to see it. There's plenty of data that's good from decades ago. You have to look at the totality of the literature before drawing conclusions, regardless of the dates.

@Anon066 Example: documents from 90s say “eggs increase your body’s cholesterol levels.”

Later it was found out your dietary cholesterol has nothing to do with your blood cholesterol level. People still panic because their information is stuck in the 90s.

Of course if there are no new findings, you go back in the date, but starting point is always the information based on current studies.

@SW-User ya, better data exists now. And ancel keys was saying that decades ago lol. His ancient studies on it are better than the newer ones that found a link.

Also what the mainstream recommends doesn't necessarily reflect the state of the research. They very often cherrypick bad research to make invalid claims. It was common knowledge in the nutrition field that eggs and dietary cholesterol didn't affect plasma cholesterol long before the mainstream changed their tune on it.
