[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1623133, member: 219467"] Unless you are prepared to lock people into a room and manage precisely what they consume for years and years you are very unlikely to get concrete evidence of anything to do with human nutrition. This has been done a couple of times but not for long enough to come up with anything to do with cholesterol so far as I can discover. I'm afraid it will all be "could" and "would' and "may". Various recent studies of studies, "PURE" is one of them, have possibly demonstrated that sat fats are not bad for us at all. This was what we were posting in the video of Prof Salim Yusuf about 6 months ago when he released the results in a talk he gave. As the outgoing president of the World Heart Federation his words had some weight and when he confirmed what common sense tells us is likely then I for one am more convinced than by older studies that have been fairly roundly debunked. However even the PURE study is not definitive as it is another meta study of observational studies which all have a fairly weak scientific background. So I'm afraid as always you pays yer money... I try to use logic and experience and look at contributing factors. For me cholesterol is not the enemy and neither are saturated fats but no-one can say that for sure. I am however prepared to not be afraid of them and have had the CAC scan to show my heart health is ok if not great for my age and background and dietary history. I'd far rather believe that than the hysteria around statins and cholesterol causing heart disease that a lot of misinformed doctors seem happy to propagate. [/QUOTE]
