QUOTE: According to Saher, in most cases people’s everyday thinking and beliefs are in line with expert views, but sometimes they lead to an opposite conclusion from what scientific evidence would suggest. Such beliefs can seldom be shaken by rational arguments. It has been suggested that some of these beliefs come close to superstition. UNQUOTE.

If I had not decided to do my own research, focusing on the data generated by the experiments rather than anyone's opinion, it's unlikely I'd be writing this today. |

It's amazing how often reports of nutritional studies, such as the one below, contradict the dogma, and yet "nutritional experts" often talk with great authority, sometimes even acting indignant that anyone would question the dogma they spout:
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Full-fat dairy products have a more slimming effect than low-fat foods, researchers at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute said.
The findings were based on interviews with nearly 20,000 women whose dietary habits were tracked since 1987, The Local newspaper said Monday. When the study began, the women had an average body mass index of 23.7. Ten years later, the women who consumed full-fat milk or cheese had a lower BMI than those who didn't.
Based on their findings, researchers said a glass of whole milk every day will result in 15 percent less weight gain. Full-fat cheese showed even better results: a portion a day yielded a 30 percent less weight gain.
"The surprising conclusion was that increased consumption of cheese meant that overweight women lost weight," said Alicja Wolk, a Karolinska Institute professor.
