The evidence on the dangers of polyunsaturated oils and their replacement of saturated fats in the American diet has been well documented the past few years. Dietary advice from the USDA and other organizations like the American Heart Association continue to promote polyunsaturated oils as heart-healthy and demonize saturated fats as unhealthy, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Is there any coincidence that the top polyunsaturated oils, soybean oil and corn oil, are the most heavily subsidized crops in the U.S.? Now a report published in the British Medical Journal has reportedly resurrected data from a 1960s study, the Sydney Diet Heart Study, which supports a completely different conclusion about the effects of polyunsaturated oils on heart disease. Not only does the evidence not support the claim that polyunsaturated fats prevent heart disease, it shows that just the opposite is true!
