How the "Saturated Fat" and Other Nonsense Story's Get Started

Remember how you used to read and maybe still do (or even still believe) many articles and books telling you that spinach was a great source of iron?

Turns out about 138 years ago a publisher of a reference book listing food values made a typo...on iron content on spinach.

The typesetter goofed in 1870 and the decimal point accidentally got moved over just on spinach, by one space, thereby listing it ten times higher then it was. This "typo" accident changed spinach from being a very POOR source of iron to one of EXCEPTIONAL good source.

In 1937 still seeing this published everywhere, two German scientists ran a study showing this was gross error. their result was published as a note of correction on the spinach figure... but for 43 years more articles ran everywhere and others still in turn picked it up from those and continued it like gospel.

Still appearing incorrectly nearly everywhere, In 1981 an English medical journal again notified everyone still running this, that it was a definite mistake, and a mistake that needed correcting.

You can probably still find some new articles today telling you that spinach is an exceptionally good source of iron, in fact I just did exactly that.

The new articles are authoritative and you see it rerun as their own, that spinach is a GREAT source of iron, if you think I am pulling your leg go research and look up spinach food values...articles on the subject, over 138 years later and they have not totally purged it yet.....

Do you think any publisher or author is ever going to say "we screwed up" and gave you WRONG information, particularly when he has to go back and see where he ever picked that up in the first place, and there was and still is NO scientific basis for it. New studies showing they goofed and ran wrong information will not get the light of day, in fact will often be nearly totally suppressed.

When we see some of these "popularized" falsehoods and we can find no scientific basis, in fact we see evidence the other way, we refer to these popularized "gospel" as "NONSENSE".
