I've studied the evidence at great length, and you may be interested to know that fat doesn't make you fat. It's the carbs and sugars. Carbs and sugars cause your liver to create a particular type of fat that gets stored very efficiently. The fat is made from the carbs, in a process known as de novo lipogenesis, Latin for "new fat creation".
As fat consumption has gone down over the last fifteen years, how is that obesity has nearly doubled? How do you explain the type 2 diabetes incidence in children? It used to be called adult-onset diabetes, but that name just doesn't work any more. Obesity and diabetes are explainable by portion size, or reduction in activity level, although those are confounding factors. It's the carb intake. Fat is an obesity neutral food, unless it's eaten with carbs. But carbs will make you fat, all on their own.
