Welcome to No Lab Coat Required.
America's diet is broken. And I think I found a huge puzzle piece as to why. When it comes to dietary fat, the amount supplied per person per day for the average American is 170g. World's average 86g. This left me scratching my head. We're the country that introduced the massive anti-fat craze. We did away with butter. We popularized skim milk. Every single authoritative body that deals with nutrition at some point told the American people to get rid of fat. And we did. So I needed to know more. I spent my last Friday afternoon digging deep into fat data of America. And what I found is a real head tilter. I rushed over to our world and data. I found that only two countries have a greater dietary fat supply. Right? A decent indicator for consumption. According to the food and a org of the United Nations, those two countries, Austria and Belgium. Now, there are two
arguments that are going against dietary fat. One of the most popular ones, I've spent 70% of this channel talking about that dietary fat causes heart disease. But let's entertain it one more game, just real quick. With only two countries eating more fat than we do here in America, it wouldn't be strange to assume that Belgium and Austria are suffering from greater rates of heart disease. Per 100,000 deaths in America, about 74 of them are of coronary artery disease. For Austria, 63. Belgium, 34.
