NEW STUDY PROVES SATURATED FAT DOES NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE: Saturated fat has proven to be relatively benign while sugar poses a greater risk for heart disease

摘要

For many years the prevailing thought among the majority of health care professionals was that saturated fats promoted, if not caused, heart disease. We have been fed this line now for the past five decades. We've heard it so many times that we just assume that there is a mountain of evidence to back it up. However, the evidence has been sorely lacking. In fact, many studies have refuted this theory, but since these studies go contrary to the popular medical belief, they are generally ignored and forgotten. Only those studies that seem to support the saturated fat-heart disease hypothesis are given any recognition or publicity. However, a growing body of research challenging the saturated fat-heart disease connection is starting to convince many doctors to reconsider how they look at fats and heart disease.
