Its interesting that diets rich in animal fat and cholesterol cop the blame (primarily from the food industry) for the increase in coronary heart disease, although in recent times we have seen an influx of low fat diets and low fat foods and also an increase in heart disease… Just a little something I came across tonight. It is clear that low-fat diets, promoted by numerous U.S. government agencies and even more numerous heavily funded health organizations, have not prevented heart disease (which is still on the rise); obesity (now affecting more than an estimated 58 percent of the American public); diabetes (the most common result of insulin resistance, now recognized by the World Health Organization as epidemic and affecting as many as three out of five people and rapidly rising, even in children); cancer (now exceeding heart disease as the leading cause of death in the United States); or any of the other disease processes that the eating of low-fat diets—especially low-saturated-fat diets—is supposed to prevent. The numbers continue to climb. -Gerald Reaven, M.D
