[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1873141, member: 219467"] No because of course you didn't provide the link... and as I said the study was done by the people who published it and not the BBC.. Prof Nita Farouhi for example is employed at Cambridge University. First confounder - "Participants were all fasted for a minimum of 4 hours prior to attending the assessment; the majority were fasted overnight" . Why were they not all fasted overnight? A fairly simple procedure to allow for uniformity in the initial test. Second - lack of info - doesn't mention if they were all fasted for the same period at the tests taken at the end of the test. Third .. the change in LDL seems to have been less than 0.5 mmol/l hardly the significant change they claim surely? Especially as it has been shown that cholesterol numbers can change significantly over the course of one day let alone 4 weeks. Fourthly - so what? Butter may raise LDL a little bit more than coconut oil but does that matter in the slightest? As the particle sizes of the LDL weren't even considered then the study tells us nothing of note except that it wasn't very well run (although it was much better than the study published in "The Lancet Public Health " about Low carb being dangerous). Calling LDL "bad" simply shows the lack of knowledge of the reporter writing the BBC piece. [/QUOTE]
