Most of us discussing this here found out this info on our own, seeking it out specifically. Most of us are also "above average" intellectually.

Exactly!
I was trying to follow what my doctor told me to do for years and I was getting bigger and my blood work was getting worse. Cardio and heart healthy grains is what he was preaching.
I show up a year later down 55lbs and ripped and told him I started doing the opposite. I also fired that doctor. He should be preaching weightlifting and more saturated fat.
Now I have an annual fight with my insurance company because of the diet survey I have to fill out and their stupid BMI calculator. I'm consistently between 11% and 13% body fat, with a 31" waist and I'm borderline overweight according to them.
