- mobiuscog 11y agoAre we really still stuck on the saturated fat being 'evil' thing ? Even the mainstream guidelines are backing down on this now.

- rhinoceraptor 11y agoThis is called the lipid hypothesis, you could say it has 'shaky' relationship with the truth. A shining example of the quote, "science advances one funeral at a time". "Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats." [1] This myth has caused untold millions to die from western diseases, billions of wasted dollars on health care, and yet it still lives on. The future won't shine a good light on this era of nutrition. [1]: http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1846638 http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1846638

No, mainstream advice is still to control the amount of saturated fat you eat. This advice has remained the same for a while now. It hasn't changed. Shitty newspaper reporting makes people think it's changed.
