Absolutely GREAT read on saturated fat vs sugar for cardiovascular risk. Obviously, the calories we take in are always 100% of the calories we take in, so if our percent intake from one thing goes down, our percent intake from another must go up correspondingly. This, I trust, does not invite argument. The study itself pretty much ignored this consideration — a fundamental limitation. No, saturated fat is not our nutritional nemesis, and never was. But neither is sugar, nor wheat, nor all grains. No one thing is the thing wrong with our diets, and no one food, nutrient, or ingredient will be our salvation either. What stands in the way is not our admittedly imperfect knowledge of nutrition, because frankly, we know enough. What stands in the way is hyperbolic headlines, fixed agendas, reactionism, religious zeal,profiteering, finding only what we’re seeking, and failure to learn from the follies of history. kevinmd/blog/2014/07/stupidity-worse-us-either-sugar-saturated-fat.html
