2010: Year of Vindication for Saturated Fat

January 21st, 2010, by

There have been a couple studies getting some attention lately. Here is a quick rundown:

In a study, recently published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Dr. Krauss and his team concluded:

A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.

Also in the news, is a new article in Men's Health. Here is Dr. B G's summary of the article: Krauss is in the HOUSE: 'Low-fat Message Was a MISTAKE'

I leave you with a quote from Petro Dobromylskyj:

There is a general feeling in THINCS and the Nutrition and Metabolism Society that 2010 could be a good year for saturophiles and the rest of mankind too of course, should they care to listen.

Meat On!
