Summary
Here's yet another study showing that low-fat diets are bad for your
heart. For decades, doctors have been telling heart patients to avoid
all fats and eat all the sugar they want. The advice, of course, was
absurd, and yet I've known heart patients who stick to it religiously
and insist their doctor knows more about nutrition than anyone else. In
reality, most doctors are nutritionally illiterate, and so for two
decades, they've been recommending a diet to heart patients that has
literally been killing them. It's yet another example of bad
medicine and misplaced trust in medical authorities. Just because
someone wears a lab coat and sports a medical degree doesn't mean they
know anything about health. Doctors are trained in diseases, not
nutrition, and they're largely clueless when it comes to telling their
patients what to eat. Of course, it is precisely the pioneering
doctors who are coming around to the idea that the human body needs
healthy fats. Their work is to be applauded! Finally, the low-fat craze
of the 80's and 90's is history.

- BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Overweight individuals who adopt a low-fat diet in
hopes of lessening their risk of heart disease and diabetes may be
venturing down the wrong path, results of a new study headed by a
nutritional researcher at the University at Buffalo have shown.
- The dietary intervention trial involved two groups of overweight
participants assigned to eat meals containing the same number of
calories, but different percentages fat.
- Those consuming a diet containing 18 percent fat (low fat) reduced
their lipid-based risk by nine percent.
- Moreover, after a four-week weight maintenance phase, moderate-fat
dieters maintained their levels of beneficial cholesterol (HDL),
improved the ratio of HDL to total and non-HDL cholesterol and lowered
the concentration of triglycerides, also harmful to heart health.
