Source? I feel poorly educated all of a sudden.

I don't have medical papers for the barefoot assertion, just personal experience with running pose-style. http://nymag.com/health/features/46213/ http://nymag.com/health/features/46213/ and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1170253/The-painful-truth-trainers-Are-expensive-running-shoes-waste-money.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1170253/The-...

I believe paper summaries are not enough and that one needs to read the study, understand the methodology etc. e.g. http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/134/11/3100 http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/134/11/3100 is a link that turns up. They found countervailing evidence, basically, that fat-intake was inversely associated with CHD (bets are on fat-soluble vitamins like K2 being the agents). This whole thing is very OT for HN, so I'll stop here, if you don't mind. cheers.
