Cholesterol has not been scientifically established to be the cause of heart disease in human beings. It was based on a study that was done on rabbits fed cholesterol and vegetable oil. The ensuing focus on low-fat diets has caused in my opinion an untold amount of suffering, including my own NAFLD.
Ancel Keys was a fish physiologist. He was highly charismatic, had a forceful personality, and dismissive of his peers that did not share his theory of heart disease.
But ya know what has been proven to contribute to heart disease, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, NAFLD, hyperinsulimia/Type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation? Refined carbohydrates (Taubes, Lustig, et al).
I kinda understand the downvotes because we’ve had 50+ years of saturated fat fearmongering. But when you start digging into this long running, test-in-production experiment on human diet and health, it’s hard to avoid conspiratorial thinking.
The downvotes don’t bother me. The day I stop getting downvotes is probably when I no longer need to bring this up :)
Thank you. I appreciate this information.
