5 myths about heart disease by Harvard Health Publications: health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/5-myths-about-heart-disease Why oh why are they STILL so scared of saturated fat? Lean meats, really? Whats most perplexing about this advice is the fact that the link between saturated fat intake and heart disease is becoming less and less obvious than previously thought. Heres a column from a study published in March 2014 about this very topic: telegraph.co.uk/journalists/sarah-knapton/10703970/No-link-found-between-saturated-fat-and-heart-disease.html Theres going to be a public showdown about saturated fat in the very near future pitting those who think it causes harm vs. those who think it is benign (and likely HELPFUL) in improving health. The only REAL way to settle this issue is to have a randomized, controlled, clinical double-blind study looking into this. Otherwise there will be debate and ranting indefinitely for many more years to come.
