Low Fat Dieters Have Higher Heart Risk

[tim-from-pa]

It’s the biggest nag in modern medicine — one you’ve heard countless times from mainstream doctors, government health officials, and know-it-all TV talking heads.
Saturated fat is bad for you!
Just one problem with that advice: Saturated fat ISN’T bad for you. In fact, it’s absolutely critical to your body and especially to your heart — but don’t take my word for it.
Ask the heart patients who took part in a study where half of them were forced to slash their intake of supposedly unhealthy saturated animal fats and increase their intake of supposedly healthy polyunsaturated fats such as safflower oil.
Well… you can try to ask them. Just don’t expect too many answers — because the ones who made that switch started dropping like flies.
They died off at DOUBLE the rate of the heart patients who were allowed to keep eating saturated animal fats. They had a higher risk of death from all causes, and more specifically a higher risk of death from heart disease and other heart problems, according to the study in BMJ......

I use the erroneous margarine promotion to demonstrate my point that this crooked generation rather have a man-made vegetable oil based fat over a natural saturated fat as in butter. Again, it's this push toward artificial sweeteners and vegetable oils that kills everyone. If anyone out there does not believe me, just look at what foods they put those ridiculous red hearts on but never something in its natural form (like an egg).

I won't even let margarine, (or the Microsoft operating system ) set foot in this household.

BTW, I bookmarked this article. That would be an excellent one to pass along.

the hydrogenated and (the) saturated fats are risky in certain circumstances, while there are also essential fatty acids(EFAs) without which the human body may suffer, the EFAs are the so-called omega-3 fatty acid(alpha-linolenic acid) and omega-6 fatty acid(linoleic acid), the foods which contain EFAs are the cold pressed liquid plant oils(e.g. extra virgin olive oil) and the fish(where the EFAs are concentrated in the oil thereof)

Are there any other studies showing the same results , under the same conditions? And what about the science to back this up ? I can easily agree about the artificial sweetners and vegetable oils negative effect. But I'm hard pressed to believe I shouldn't eat natural plants/beans. There's too much science behind it.
