Why 40 years of official nutritional guidelines prescribed a low-fat diet that promoted heart disease

I’m a cyclist and at “race weight” of 70kg - 72kg (I’m 181cm tall) I’m around the middle of the healthy range (I don’t have big legs and am reasonably proportioned at that weight). But I’m pretty skinny, even at 72kg. To be underweight, I’d need to lose more than another 10kg! That just seems ridiculous. I’d look like a skeleton, even at 65kg.
