[QUOTE="fergus, post: 111556, member: 6150"] Agreed! :D In my view, I'm afraid the idea that saturated fat raises cholesterol which then leads to heart disease seems perfectly plausible at first. The only problem is that the evidence doesn't support it. The hypothesis, because an idea without available evidence in support of it can only be hypothetical, made sense when it first emerged. It seemed so obvious, so straightforward and so simple that it just had to be true. The science that has invested a great deal of time and money in trying to confirm the hypothesis has drawn a complete blank however. Now it wouldn't exactly be the first time the medical community had put it's considerable weight behind a hypothesis, only for it to be proved wrong. HRT, thalidomide, aspirin, high carb low fat diets, there is a great deal of evidence to support the argument that the medical profession is a long, long way short of infallible. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
