i wonder whether this will debunk or reinforce the myths?

I think she's doing a good job so far! Amazing that the things we seem to have known forever on here are suddenly breaking news!

Annoying that they kept putting butter on one side and never coming back to it!
 
Wished i'd seen this. Might try catch up if our internet behaves itself. I'm sure the myths won't be debunked for long. It's too ingrained.
 
Seemed pretty good to me. They were advocating the Mediterranean Diet. They did not like coconut oil but did like rapeseed and olive. Did not mention butter. Mentioned eggs, oily fish, avocados, nuts. Said nothing wrong with eating dairy. They were talking a lot about weight loss rather than diabetes. It is the best programme about fat I have seen for a long time in that they concentrated on the junk food, takeaways, trans fats, chocolate, biscuits, cakes etc which were not good.
 
It wasn't concentrated on diabetes at all, it was as Maz says mainly about debunking the vilification of fat. Quite sensible really but the eat well plate made an appearance (in fairness not for diabetics). I like that Catherine Tyldesley and she's really got her own weight problem under control.

That plate was awful though. It had a tiny spoonful of salad on it and that was meant to be all the veg you need?
 
Yes I thought that too Radders. I fill my plate with mostly veg (except potatoes) and then add the meat, fish etc.
