Default article: Should Saturated Fat Have a Bad Rap?

http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/...b-fbcfd404e04f

excerpt:
The low-carb Atkins-style diet may not be the rage it once was, but its core
concept - that saturated fat is not necessarily bad for us and won't lead to
weight-gain - is gaining momentum in some research circles.

Gary Taubes' current best-seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, is making
waves with the assertion that there's no real evidence that saturated fat is
bad for us. The cover of the book shows a piece of toast with a pat of
butter on it, except that contrary to what what we've been told for decades,
Taubes claims it's the piece of bread that represents the "bad" calories,
while the butter is symbolic of the "good."

He's not alone.

It is a really nice article. Below is my favorite quote......

Dr. Eric Westman of North Carolina's Duke University is one of the sat-fat believers.


Westman says "he is an advocate for the science in this area, not the diet."

He adds that what he really wants is more research in the low-carb field. To
date, there haven't been any conclusive studies on the long-term impact of the diet,
which is why he doesn't recommend a strict low-carb diet long-term.
(He also stresses that the diet be monitored by a qualified doctor.)


One of the reasons for the lack of research, he says, is that
there's a taboo, even among scientists, on studying higher fat diets.

Today suggesting that fat may not be bad is much like anyone daring to
question any of the science behind the conclusion that manmade CO2 is
responsible for global warming. No discussion is allowed. You
immediately get labled a heretic and have your funding disappear.

There was a taboo on having sex with my Aunt Cynthia too, but we never
let that stop us.
