Study after study (such as Framingham, the Minnesota State Hospital Trial, the Veterans Clinical Trial, the Puerto Rico Heart Health Study, and the Honolulu Heart Program) has shown a consistently distinct lack of correlation between dietary fat, dietary serum cholesterol, and heart disease. A group of scientists known as the International Atherosclerosis Project analyzed 31,000 autopsies from 15 countries and found ZERO correlation among animal fat intake, atherosclerotic disease and serum cholesterol levels.
The fixation on cholesterol levels and reccomendations toward eliminating dietary saturated fat and cholesterol bewilderingly persists to this day, despite an overwhelming degree of evidence to the contrary. Michael Gurr, Ph.D a renowned lipid expert said, "Whatever causes coronary heart disease it is not from a high intake of saturated fat."
