In The Washington Post online, I found a reference<\/a>\u00a0to an analysis<\/a> published last year\u00a0in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.\u00a0 The objective of the\u00a0meta-analysis\u00a0 was “to summarize the evidence related to the association of dietary saturated fat with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and cardiovascular disease (CVD; CHD inclusive of stroke) in prospective epidemiologic studies.”<\/p>\n

Twenty-one studies were identified and analyzed.\u00a0 The conclusions stated that “there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. ”<\/p>\n

As I have mentioned in a previous post about low-fat diets<\/a>, too many “health experts,” doctors, and government agencies say that “Everyone knows that . . .” when referring to saturated fats, low-fat diets, and other related topics.\u00a0 The “fat police” have been demonizing butter, animal fats, coconut oil, and even egg yolks for many years, always claiming it’s for our health.\u00a0 Apparently even the “establishment” is beginning to realize that the science behind the fat scare is limited, at best.\u00a0 The Washington Post article called the meta-analysis a “major piece of research.”\u00a0 How many more “experts” will we hear say “everyone knows,” or the equivalent, before they learn that “everyone” does not know and that they are WRONG?<\/p>\n
