"Another potential source of concern regarding the BMJ paper is that three of the co-authors work for Uniliver, the food company that is the largest producer of margarine and other food spreads." Prominent doesn't mean not venal.

Not strong at all. It's not controlled. It's observational. Observational "studies" are worthless.

I don't understand why they waste 3 decades if this is so prone to confusion? Or was the data already available? I also saw this with super long cellphone studies and stuff. Seems to me that they seek some obvious result, then they can't find it, but some other tiny effect ends up being significant because of the sheer size of the study, so we end up with inane headlines as in this case.

Now this is a STRONG study = ]

"" 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."

Yep, its Harvard University again :) .....they are behind every single 'scientific' article that get news attention that demonises saturated fats and promotes the benefits of seed oils.

They are clearly as bent as a 9 dollar note.

Harvard supports soybean oil over coconut oil,

"And I don't think coconut oil is as healthful as vegetable oils like olive oil and soybean oil, which are mainly unsaturated fat and therefore both lower LDL and increase HDL. " Updated: March 18, 2016Published: May 1, 2011 (Ask the doctor: Coconut oil - Harvard Health)

If this is what the flagship educational institution of the country has been producing lately, including the resveratrol scam (which also came from a Harvard prof), then imagine what level of intelligence is in the government...

The demand for "science" showing their desired results exceeds the supply.

Interesting, all the coming-of-age movies about how great harvard is, how the poor kid gets accepted to harvard, &etc. Seems to have been a lot since 1980, propoganda campaign.

Yeah, it is really bad but at least the truth is slowly coming out. Come to think of it, what major discovery has come out of Harvard int he last 20 years?

I know a Harvard professor personally and he told me in confidence that it's rare that they don't ask him to change results in a study. It's hard to know who to trust but definitely no one with ties to the big institutions.

For example, in this study, those who ate more saturated fat also ate more protein from animals, ‘refined’ carbohydrate, and trans fats. They also ate less fiber, fruits and vegetables, and whole grain carbohydrates. They were more likely to smoke.

It's also what they aren't eating. I would like to see the correlation of CVD with vitamin C intakes (don't laugh, there is good science behind this.)

I have to get this off my chest.

I'm studying to be a waiter and we were baking today at school. Salty pies and stuff. Holy crap the amount of butter, cream, fatty cheese etc. in those foods!! Absolutely insane. And while we were eating them the fat people at my class were talking (or freaking) about some little amount of added sugar in yogurts and stuff.

And of course the heavy feeling after eating the fat bombs was "because of the flour."

Thomas Sowell said that every time there's a great economic catastrophe there seems to be a Harvard man in the middle of it.

That is often true, but the Chicago boys do a lot more damage when they get into power.
