[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 888007, member: 12578"] No guidelines really say go very low fat, 35% isn't really low fat, the Med diet as in Crete wasn't low fat : it was low in sat fat . Cochrane doesn't say that cutting total fat has any benefit at all. It does suggest that replacing part of a populations intake of saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat reduces the numbers of cases of heart disease. (it's a shame that there are still insufficient trials replacing sat fat with monounsaturated fat for them to report on that) Diet is also only one factor; those others that we all know about (smoking, exercise, weight, stress, genetics) all play big roles. It's also true that a lot of saturated fat in many diets comes as an ingredient in highly processed foods .( In the past mostly using tropical oils, this was replaced by hydrogenated fats, now its back to cheap palm oil) [URL]http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/070114p20.shtml[/URL] Big reviews can't say is what any level of fat will do for you, as an individual . You've only got to look at individual results in smaller studies to realise that there are people who absolutely buck the trend for anything. We all know of the person who eats, drinks, smokes and makes merry and lives a long happy life and the person who does everything 'right' and drops dead whilst jogging. What this review also can't address is the effects on CVD or any other long term effect of eating a very low fat diet ,as in the 10-20% advocated by some or the 70% plus fat diets advocated at the other extreme. I'll stick in the middle; and being in the middle, I enjoy eating duck, available in all it's parts here, and fortunately quite high in monounsaturated fat. I'll eat local cheeses in French size portions(30g) but am less likely to eat some of the local sausage and pâté. [/QUOTE]
