New evidence raises questions about the link between fatty acids and heart disease
An international research collaboration led by the University of Cambridge analysed existing cohort studies and randomised trials on coronary risk and fatty acid intake. They showed that current evidence does not support guidelines which restrict the consumption of saturated fats in order to prevent heart disease. The researchers also found insufficient support for guidelines which advocate the high consumption of polyunsaturated fats (such as omega 3 and omega 6) to reduce the risk of coronary disease.
This research has been done again and again by different researchers for twenty years.
The original "low fat" doctor still hasn't changed his mind though.
