Someone who was educated in the 70's will have a different view on healthy eating than someone educated in the 90's, even if both keep on top of studies etc. The core of their knowledge is based on thinking that was thought to be valid for a long time and now has been shown to be less than effective.

The problem I have with that is I'm not even reading studies, or scientific research. LA Times articles are about as mainstream as you can get.
The research itself isn't hard to find. If one is actually worried about their eating habits, or even about what they tell their 'clients'....they'll try to keep up to date with what science is saying.
Going back to the other post, the problem I have with suggesting low-fat is that people tend to stay away from protein(meat) and eat more carbs because carbs have less fat than meat.
Saturated fats have been vilified to the point where there still are people out there that think any kind of carb is better than a good steak.
