The Sugar Conspiracy

April 7th, 2016

Via: Guardian:

In 2008, researchers from Oxford University undertook a Europe-wide study of the causes of heart disease. Its data shows an inverse correlation between saturated fat and heart disease, across the continent. France, the country with the highest intake of saturated fat, has the lowest rate of heart disease; Ukraine, the country with the lowest intake of saturated fat, has the highest. When the British obesity researcher Zoƫ Harcombe performed an analysis of the data on cholesterol levels for 192 countries around the world, she found that lower cholesterol correlated with higher rates of death from heart disease.

    Oh Goddess, when will the madness end? This article was incredible (but also really, really sad about how people who are doing research into nutrition are regularly trashed). Thank you for posting the article Kevin. Ten fingers up on this one. I will send it to my “doctor” who regularly chides me about my cholesterol levels. Actually wants her patients to watch the movie “Forks Over Knives”. What a travesty. E
