Saturated fat does not cause heart disease: Study
Times of India ^ | Mar 20, 2014 | Kounteya Sinha

Posted on 03/19/2014 9:51:50 PM PDT by Innovative

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Heart Foundation have found there is actually no evidence that confirms changing the type of fat you eat from "bad" saturated to "healthier" polyunsaturated cuts heart risk.

The researchers analysed data from 72 unique studies with over 600,000 participants from 18 nations and found total saturated fatty acid, whether measured in the diet or in the bloodstream as a biomarker, was not associated with coronary disease risk in the observational studies.

Interesting thing about fat in general: it slows stomach emptying, so eating some fat before a meal might provid a sustained fullness that keeps one from snacking and eating more than one ought to.

Well, now what? Nothing has any taste anymore.. How many years have the Food Nazi’s forced the Bad Fat story down our throat..?

They ruined our Popcorn in the theaters, our French Fries, every quality hamburger, and steak, not to mention any kind of snack.. Go figure..It was all BS.. Ha!

Instinctively any one with common sense knows this headline is correct.

Eat real foods. Products from animals have fat in them. We are meant to eat other animals.

Why on earth is anyone believing the health garbage put out by the government and “experts” who are getting paid by the government?

She now has to come up with a better excuse for her fat-ass hips and the need to dress with boobie-belts.

I so wish Americans would think for themselves and do their own research instead of taking the guided BS fantasy tour our government is leading.

Your body and your health are important. Act accordingly.

After the latest 3rd hand smoke studies have confirmed that 3rd-hand smoke is worse that direct smoking, are we going to have to send for a Fed-Ex package for Sea Salt?

The government lies to us about everything else. Why wouldn’t they lie about health issues?

The powers that be want a population that is sick and scared. So sick and scared that we look to “them” for answers.

Agreed! Give us back our crispy taco shells, the golden brown fries, KFC so delicious that you'd eat a bucket of skin, the crunchy cereal that doesn't turn to mush in 30 seconds.

Frankly I'm MORE frightened by the "substitute oils" forced on manufacturers than anything that came before.

May every restaurant now officially return to using lard and not hydrogenated soybean squeezins for all deep fat frying!
