Below is a preview of the earlier sections of the summary: 

Introduction

The author had the luxury of approaching the nutritional science field as an open-

minded individual with no affiliation or funding from any institutions or persons with

deeply entrenched views. The result is some alarming information about the ways

that nutrition has been misinterpreted for decades. The supposed health hazards of

saturated fats found in butter, eggs, and meat have not been substantiated by

reliable science. Science supports the fact that the body is healthiest on a diet rich

in fat.
