Analysis v1
Before people started using seed oils, heart attacks were almost never seen or written about by doctors.
Scientific Claim
The historical incidence of acute myocardial infarction in the United States was negligible prior to the widespread introduction of industrial seed oils in the early 20th century.
Original Statement
“Before 1912, there is zero record of a heart attack ever occurring in the United States. And whenever I say this to people, they go, there's just no way. Of course, heart attacks were happening. We didn't record them. However, even when you read the journal from the top physicians at the time, there is no mention of heart attacks.”
