Saturated fat

[Deespee23]

Do you think this the proper place to get into a religious debate. I for one don't.

......That would be an Ecumenical matter, your Grace.....?

We need another Diet of Wurms, m'lud

hmm, mound and other caches worldwide would suggest otherwise

But mounds are man made, and can be faked. See Piltdown Man as an example. Von Danniken as another. We can on;y believe the one true prophet. I hear a voice crying in the wilderness, which is where I will be when the Moderators wake up and read this thread. Nuff said.........End of.....

I am not suggesting we respect the beliefs. I am suggesting that we phrase our replies to show respect for the poster, while expressing our disagreement.

The topic is saturated fat.
If you want to argue about religious beliefs then I suggest you do so via PM rather than have the topic being locked or posts deleted/edited.

Interesting, because the official position on saturated fat seems to be based on faith, in that it rejects overwhelming evidence that it is largely harmless and in some respects essential to human health.
Never respond to trolls.

But it is only recently in the past year that the original data has been revisited and found to be wanting. With hindsight we now say the original studies were flawed and incorrect conclusions drawn, but up to this point we were happy in our ignorance. It was not by faith, but poor mathematics that we got there.

And here is the very math of which you speak.

(mmol/l) = 0.031(2Dsf − Dpuf) + 1.5√Dch

where Dsf is the change in percentage of dietary energy from saturated fats, Dpuf is the change in percentage of dietary energy from polyunsaturated fats, and Dch is the change in intake of dietary cholesterol

Of course faith did come into it as in who did they (the scientific community) put their faith in Ancel Keys or John Yudkin.

As moderation has fallen on deaf ears I am closing this thread, having deleted the last 5 posts..
