BTW trans-fats do exist naturally in small amounts, but I have always avoided processed/manufactured "foods" like margarine anyway.
So far as I understand, there is no true scientific study proving the theory that links saturated fat with atherosclerosis/cardio-vascular disease. |
Are there any true scientific studies? Maybe the ones that you want to deem true...
There are plenty of studies that link saturated fats to CAD, CVD, various types of cancer, and diabetes. I found them with the New England Journal of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, American Heart Association, among others, but do not wish to pay for a subscription to prove it to you. I'm sure all of the authors are players in this conspiracy to push carbs and withhold fats, though.
I think that you are so threatened by those of us who choose to not eat as you do, YOU over-think it.
If I remember correctly, Frank, your first post for me was suggesting a low-carb diet (and you weren't even asked for a suggestion!). And that was following my post with a simple explanation of carbs-proteins-fats, explaining why I felt it unnecessary for EVERYBODY to follow a low-carb plan (in response to a post asking for explanations and opinions). Don't worry about reposting it, I know where to find it.
I have never forced my regimen on anyone. Why must you attack a plan that works for some, while we are not doing so?
