"Quite the opposite. Fat is the best thing for those who want to lose weight. And there are no connections between a high fat intake and cardiovascular disease."<br /><br />Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/042780_sweden_low-fat_diet_myth_butter.html#ixzz3K7VJl1Md"<br /><br />However, I wouldn't see it as a license to overeat bacon, butter and heavy cream. Sure, leafy greens are safer to over-consume from the weight-loss point of view, but I noticed that smaller portion of nutrients-dense food work better for me. Big portions cause energy deep for some reason.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-24781915187586445092014-11-25T14:35:51.704-06:002014-11-25T14:35:51.704-06:00"like"!!!"like"!!!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-49141337268112301332014-11-25T14:33:16.551-06:002014-11-25T14:33:16.551-06:00"Nobody has shown saturated fat is safe!"..."Nobody has shown saturated fat is safe!"<br /><br />This will do me for now, that and the forty plus blood tests I have on a regular basis.<br /><br />A meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, pooled together data from 21 unique studies that included almost 350,000 people, about 11,000 of whom developed cardiovascular disease (CVD), tracked for an average of 14 years, and concluded that there is no relationship between the intake of saturated fat and the incidence of heart disease or stroke.<br /><br />Conclusions: 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.<br /><br />http://www.ajcn.org/content/early/2010/01/13/ajcn.2009.27725.abstract<br />Lowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-48496389396250762142014-11-25T13:30:55.267-06:002014-11-25T13:30:55.267-06:00and on the subject of important-journal published,...and on the subject of important-journal published, peer-reviewed papers: http://retractionwatch.com/2014/11/25/publisher-discovers-50-papers-accepted-based-on-fake-peer-reviews/tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-87386825610844687482014-11-25T13:30:02.119-06:002014-11-25T13:30:02.119-06:00to show something is "safe" you have to ...to show something is "safe" you have to HAVE something that's safe to compare it to.... what we do have are some trials which compare "control" diets to "high F&V" diets, low-fat to high-fat ones, etc....tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-21127933160136565822014-11-25T12:34:53.406-06:002014-11-25T12:34:53.406-06:00Skepticism is great, but when you don't apply ...Skepticism is great, but when you don't apply it to your pet ideas, it's special pleading, and it happens all the time in nutrition.

The data about the use of statines and the danger of high cholesterol levels also doesn't cause him to exercise skepticism.<br />I was recently reading memories of a person who worked and lived in a poor area of London in 1950-s, and people were living in a poor conditions there, with lavatories outdoors then. Many of them didn't have enough food to eat everyday - it is a paleo feature for sure.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-37227749234863155572014-11-25T11:14:23.547-06:002014-11-25T11:14:23.547-06:00Hi Tess this sums up so much we see published in t...Hi Tess this sums up so much we see published in the name of science regarding nutrition and the ideal diet. <br /><br />Quote by Drummond Rennie, at the time the Deputy Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association.<br /><br />"There seems to be no study too fragmented, no hypothesis too trivial, no literature citation too biased or too egotistical, no design too warped, no methodology too bungled, no presentation of results too inaccurate, too obscure, and too contradictory, no analysis too self serving, no argument too circular, no conclusions too trifling or too unjustified, and no grammar and syntax too offensive for a paper to end up in print."<br /><br />Kind regards EddieLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.com
