13 Nutrition Lies That Made The World Sick And Fat

13 Nutrition Lies That Made The World Sick And Fat - Business Insider:
3. Saturated Fat is Unhealthy
For many decades, people have believed that eating saturated fat can increase the risk of heart disease.
In fact, this idea has been the cornerstone of mainstream nutrition recommendations.
However, studies published in the past few decades prove that saturated fat is completely harmless.
A massive study published in 2010 looked at data from a total of 21 studies that included 347,747 individuals. They found absolutely no association between saturated fat consumption and the risk of heart disease (19).
Multiple other studies confirm these findings… saturated fat really has nothing to do with heart disease.
The “war” on fat was based on an unproven theory that somehow became common knowledge (20, 21)."
