Like I wrote above: The stuff about fat and bread is so true to the point that lard almost vanished in the 20th century. The whole industry moved on from pork fat to vegetable oil. There were numerous studies that backed that and it's known that it most likely created more heart problems for generations of people than the good old butter that humanity used to eat for thousands of years.
You can find the ice age, global cooling and other similar theories from the 20th century looking up on Google in two seconds and you know it. C'mon. :D
And yes, that's how science works, they have to correct themselves because they're wrong about lots of things, that's my point, thank you.

It is the responsibility of the one making the claims to back them up with evidence, when asked. Can you link to these numerous studies saying that butter is bad for you, and vegetable oil is good for you? Can you show that said stance, was a view held by the overwhelming majority of scientists at any given time? Can you link to the ice age and global cooling theories? Yes, I can look them up if I want, but I can look up a lot of things on google, that are flat out false. Remember it is your responsibility to back up your own claims, and I would happily do the same if asked by you.
As for the disease example; Yes, that's how science works. We didn't know about something, then made a discovery, and corrected ourselves. That is how science works.
You've misunderstood what I'm saying. We didn't know about something =/= science told us the opposite. Before germ theory there were zero scientific theories for the cause of disease that withstood scientific testing and scrutiny. Science was telling us for centuries that all of our notions about disease and the workings of the body were dead wrong. When I say We didn't know something I mean that doctors at the time either ignored the scientific evidence for germ theory, or were flat out ignorant of it. I don't mean to say that science at one time advocated some other theory of disease.

Look it up or talk to anyone on the streets. You know what I'm saying is true.

No. I'm not writing a paper, I haven't stated anything beyond common.
---- As for the disease example; Yes, that's how science works. We didn't know about something, then made a discovery, and corrected ourselves. That is how science works.
That's what I said. Thank you for agreeing with me that we can't blindly believe in science, because they always have to correct themselves.
Now, one question, you say "correct ourselves". Are you a scientist? Did my posts offend you?
