Its all a big fat lie: this half-baked idea that saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet cause heart disease. If Ancel Keys, who originated this fallacious lipid hypothesis, had taken the time to reflect on the fact that heart disease is predominately a 20th century phenomenon and that people ate large quantities of saturated fat in earlier times and were relatively heart disease free, then maybe he would have seen the truth. But perhaps he just didnt want to see the truth. If saturated fat causes heart disease, why wasnt it causing it prior to the 1900s, and why was heart disease unknown in the Inuit and Masai, who consumed massive amounts of saturated fat? Its amazing that such a ludicrous notion could gain such widespread acceptance. It defies even basic and simple common sense.
