It's strange how the experts seems to obsess over EFAs as the key determinant of good health as if it was the only thing.

"It has also been proven that eating a high-fat diet with a deficiency of fiber, plant polyphenols, and DHA is not a good thing." - This statement upsets me especially. PROVEN?

I remember the days when I actually believed the mainstream medical experts.

I actually was studying to become an allopathic doctor before my health failed.

In some ways I am actually glad my health failed because now I won't have the experience of harming others that I didn't mean to harm. I actually have aspirations to become a naturopath once my health recovers. I still want to heal people but now while truly honoring the hippocratic oath. :)

Well, the case against cooked animal fats is indeed proven, as they are known to generate the highest levels of heat-created toxins after being cooked - but the other stuff re fibre etc. certainly hasn't at all.
