Default Saturated Fat and the European Paradox



http://www.dietdoctor.com/stunning-s...ropean-paradox

"What does it mean?

"Correlations between populations, like these, are known as ecological
data. It doesn’t really prove anything. In other words, the diagram
above does not prove that saturated fat protects you from heart
disease. There are obviously many other differences between these
populations, not just the intake of saturated fat.

"But a diagram like this can more or less disprove a theory. It’s hard
to imagine how saturated fat could be a major cause of heart disease,
when European populations stuffing themselves with it are so much
healthier, without exception."
