Please join me in signing this petition! "The Heart Foundation currently advises that we steer clear of ‘dangerous’ saturated fats, consume margarine, vegetable and seed oils, keep our cholesterol low, low, low and consume foods with the tick of approval, all of which are highly processed, toxic and many of which contain huge amounts of sugar (for example Milo Cereal which is 27% refined sugar). They claim that this advice is based on solid scientific evidence but I can’t seem to find any. All I am finding is more and more evidence to suggest that saturated fat and cholesterol are NOT associated with cardiovascular disease and that this idea was based on an extremely faulty study by Ancel Keys who cherry picked data in an attempt to prove what he wanted to prove. If all of the data had been used they would have found absolutely NO correlation between saturated fat and heart disease- yet somehow this out-dated and even dangerous hypothesis is clung to so that margarine, cholesterol lowering medications and all manner of unnecessary and toxic products can be sold. Here is an example of evidence to suggest that saturated fat and cholesterol do not cause heart disease. This is a MASSIVE meta-analysis involving many studies and a huge amount of people. ajcn.nutrition.org/content/early/2010/01/13/ajcn.2009.27725.short Christine Cronau- Author of the Fat Revolution (and signatory of this petition) has put together a massive compilation of relevant studies which can be found here christinecronau/studies/ In fact saturated fat and dietary cholesterol from natural, healthy sources such as butter from grass fed cows, animal fats from naturally raised animals, eggs (including the cholesterol filled yolk), unrefined coconut oil etc have been found to be extremely beneficial to health and actually assist in protecting, NOT causing cardiovascular disease. There has been a great deal of research and science to show this which has been largely ignored by the medical and scientific communities and by Heart Foundations and nutritional authorities around the world. Some of these researchers, scientists, authors, nutritionists etc include Cyndi O’Meara, Dr Sandra Cabot, Gary Taubes, Sally Fallon, Christine Cronau, David Gillespie, Uffe Ranskov, Anthony Colpo and there are many others. It is time people learned the truth. The current advice CONTRIBUTES to inflammation, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and a whole host of unpleasant and unnecessary medical complications."
