I know that the subject pertains to soy proteins, not lipids, but I can't
resist mentioning a problem with research funded by the "vegetable" oil (soy
oil; soylent-yellow) industry.
Under pressure from the seed oils industry the results of the foundational
studies about dietary saturated fat, which were mostly done prior to 1971,
were misinterpreted. Then the American Heart Ass. and the FDA began
condemning the consumption of saturated fats in favor of unsaturated fats.
Mark my words: Some time during the next 5 years official statements about
the saturated fat paradigm will be widely publicized; that not all saturated
fats are bad, and that in fact it's the excessive amounts of polyunsaturated
fats, particulary linoleic acid (omega-6 fat) which are causing more health
problems than the bad saturated fats. Realisticly, such a statement is
unlikely to come from the American Heart Ass. because then they would have
to eat crow after being being the chief propagator of general misinformation
about dietary saturated fat for at least the past 35 years.
