Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: There is no scientific evidence to support this dramatic claim. 🤷♂️ While very high-fat diets can cause health issues in animals, the assertion that they *all* died of heart attacks within six weeks is not documented in agricultural or scientific literature. Modern studies on rats show that while high intake of certain fats can cause liver and heart damage, vegetable oils were often found to be protective compared to animal fats. The claim is an extreme exaggeration designed to create fear. 🔬
