BREAKING NEWS from the BBC - Fat is NOT Unhealthy - hopefully most people who follow Dr Dan and I will instantly read into the sarcasm here!!! Ive been saying for over a decade that fat in the diet doesnt cause obesity or heart disease...and also talked about a similar state of affairs with saturated fat...and in fact, Ive pointed out that research makes it quite clear that when fat (and saturated fat) is replaced in the diet by typical carbs, risk of disease stays the same or goes up!!! This is Breaking News?!?! The worst part is that a Dietician was on the BBC Breakfast show trying to refute this - thus removing any last tiny bit of credibility the British Dietetic Association may have had left (I expect dieticians to have no clue whatsoever about the best diets for fat loss and to warn of eating too much protein - when in fact, most people would be much leaner and healthier if they increased their protein intake - but I would at least expect them to be aware of research that is so spectacularly easy to find). For instance, this paper was written by the worlds most published nutrition expert, Dr Walter Willett, from the prestigious Harvard School of Public Health and was written way back in 2002 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12120421 (the title of the paper gives a bit of a hint at the conclusion of this huge analysis of fats role in obesity... If anyone would like me to post the studies on fat/saturated fat intake and risk of disease, Ill do that if I get enough interest in this post...
