Eat FATTY FOODS to Stay THIN. They Might Even Help Your Heart
30th November 2014
Have our health authorities been spouting unscientific nonsense for the last few decades?
Ya think?
The rationale is that saturated fats are associated with obesity and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This is effectively the consensus opinion from government health agencies across much of the world, not just the UK and US.
Does the evidence support this advice? The obvious point is to ask what evidence there is for the core idea that reducing dietary saturated fat intake makes a difference to health. The answer is that there’s not much.
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
