If you need a good source of real facts about nutrition, I highly recommend nutritionfacts.org which is non profit and lead by a real expert in lifestyle medicine.

Regarding this topic checkout https://nutritionfacts.org/2016/11/22/how-a-low-carb-diet-is...

How can a post that recommends bacon as a "healthy source of fat" be taken serious, when the WHO is warning us about the carcinogenic effects of processed meat?

Lol @ nutritionfacts.org.

That dude cherry picks studies just as much as the people he criticizes.

You have to give Dr. Greger credit for the sheer volume of material he goes through and how jam-packed his videos are with citations. He does a better job at performing credibility than any other diet doctor out there.
Just for the sake of clarity, the article recommends bacon as a "source of healthy fat" (not a "healthy source of fat"), where they specifically define "healthy fat".
