Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris24Main" data-source="post: 2725744" data-attributes="member: 585131">I think I need to see some, any, evidence that dietary saturated fat has any connection whatever to LDL (biologically it just doesn't), and then that LDL has any connection whatever in a causative sense, to heart, or in fact any disease. Hours and hours of lectures, tens of books digested on this from the perspective of nutrition, cell metabolism, lipid transport, clotting cascade mechanism, all lead me to feel more and more that the heart health hypothesis, all of which is based on poor science, and studies done a lifetime ago on sick men, is just eventually going to be thought of in the same way as we look back to when the orthodoxy burned heretics at the stake for claiming that the Earth revolved around the sun. The science of all of this is shifting, slowly, but I there will come a time where it will seem just funny that we all twisted ourselves in knots trying to explain something just not explainable, because it was never true. Actually - I can be more succinct and take the summary from the study that [USER=583820]@HairySmurf[/USER] linked - SUMMARY Saturated fats are not as harmful as previously believed. Growing evidence suggests that there are no strong links between saturated fat and heart disease.That's all you need.</blockquote>
