driving a car does not, by itself, cause car accidents

  and people who say that saturated fat causes heart disease are like people who say we should stop driving cars because they have been shown to raise death rates. there is no randomized trial that shows saturated fat is harmful. there is no study where people were assembled, divided randomly into fat + and fat - groups, kept under supervision and only allowed to eat the meals provided by the study (without being excluded from the study). it is so blindingly simple and yet nobody does it. meanwhile, our ancestors ate nothing but meat for millions of years.

    > meanwhile, our ancestors ate nothing but meat for millions of years Our ancestors ate almost entirely plants. Even we modern humans only recently started getting a significant proportion of our caleries from meat/animal fat. Now we have cardiovascular diseases being the main cause of death and one of the leading causes of poor quality life in peoples final years. It's unfortunate
