It's most likely animal fat and meat demonisation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzQAHITIUhg

It's one of those things were effects are so far ahead in time you don't really realise they're there until you're 60 and cancer kills you. And then it's "oh well, old people die" or "he had too many beers"

I was striving to be vegetarian for more than a decade (avoid red meat, low fat diet) because of the "science", before I started developing issues.

Good luck in finding research to back this up, the trend seems to be going all towards vegan highly processed food. I was impressed when mainstream science recently reluctantly backtracked on animal fat and meat.

The USDA is still to update recommendations of course.
