New study: People eating more saturated fat get less heart disease
This time there actually was a connection. People eating more saturated fat (like butter) got way less heart disease!
This should be impossible
Obviously this is only a statistical trial so it does not prove cause and effect. It doesn’t prove that butter protects against heart disease. But it’s still another big nail in the coffin for the failed low-fat diet. Because it’s almost impossible to get a result like this if saturated fat was really dangerous.
Imagine doing a study and finding that smokers get way less lung cancer, and the more they smoke the less lung cancer they get. That would be weird. It would also never happen. Because unlike natural saturated fat, smoking is actually bad for you.
Here’s another fantastically awkward thing that would not happen if saturated fat were as bad as some people still think: Stunning: Saturated Fat and the European Paradox
And here’s yet another: The Real Association Between Butter and Heart Disease in Sweden
Another consideration is that this is Holland, so the dairy fat was likely from grass-fed cows (making the milk higher in conjugated linoleic acid, vitamin A, etc.) and the cheese was likely high in Gouda. The bacteria used to make Gouda produce high amounts of vitamin K2 (the animal form of vitamin K), which activates proteins to remove calcium build-up from soft tissues, such as artery walls. This suggests the correlation to saturated fats could indeed just be correlation, on the basis that it is the milk and bacteria quality that affects the results. Perhaps more careful examination of the fatty acid correlations in the study could answer these questions.

Congratulations to every single person who has helped implement this monumental change, unbinding and untangling science, and setting desperate people free to enjoy good health naturally, without pharmaceuticals and torture diets.
Congratulations; I'm forever grateful.
You are the modern giants of scientific nutritional inquiry. I know it when I see it.
Now let's ask where are the Nobel prizes?
This is no nail in the coffin.
fed diets they don't eat in nature. IE ....corn. That's why American studies show harm and European, Nordic and other countries show benefit.
