n. Illinois | The whole theory of Saturated Animal fats causing cardiovascular disease is based upon fraudulent science pushed back in the early 1960's by a Prof Ancel Keys of the University of Minnesota. He did a random control trial of where he could completely control the diet of patients in Institutions in Minnesota in the late 1960's to early 1970's. He removed the animal fat from one group and replaced it with vegetable oils. The group that got the vegetable oils died at a higher rate than the group that got the animal fats. He disproved his own theory so he did what any respectable scientist who is searching for the truth, He hide the data he never published it because it disproved his own theory. He didn't actually destroy the data and after he died someone found the data re-analyzed it and published it but its too late there is an entire industry making millions if not billions pushing the theory that animal fats cause cardiovascular disease. this is the Reader Digest condensed version of the story. Lots more was involved like the sugar industry paying University researchers to do studies showing saturated animal fats cause cardiovascular disease when its most likely sugar and especially high fructose corn syrup. | |
