Are You aware Diets Rich In Saturated Fat Have Never Increased CHD Mortality?

Razwell R asked:


Despitre all the political PROPAGANDA, diets rich in saturated fat have NEVER increased CHD mortality in any of the tightly controlled clinical dietary intervention trials

Are you aware of this?

P.S. POLYUNSATURATED VEGETABLE OILS RAISED CHD MORTALITY.

    Lose weight fast

    I did read a study on the CDC site that did not show a decrease in cardiovascular events after 20 yrs. of low-fat diets in the research subjects.

    Conversationally, eating lower fat and good fats should decrease one’s caloric intake, which would keep weight down, which would lower one’s cardiovascular disease risk for sure. Overweight people I know who have lost 20 pounds have decreased their BP, their Cholesterol and triglycerides, and lowered their blood sugar to normal levels which will for sure decrease their risk of heart and kidney disfunction.

    Metabolism and Your Weight

    IT IS TRUE THAT LOW CALORIE WILL KEEP WEIGHT DOWN BUT LOW FAT DIETS ARE NOT SATISFYING AND YOU EAT MORE AND MORE TO FEEL FULL LEAVING YOU WITH ALOT OF CALORIES

    THE LOW FAT FAD IS REPOSIBLE FOR MAKING US THE MOST OBESE DIABETIC NATION. IN THE WORLD

    SKIP LOW FAT PEOPLE. DIETS RICH IN SATURATED HAVE NOT INCREASED CHD MORTALITY AT ALL AND YOU WILL WIND UP EATING MANY CALORIES BECAUSE LOW FAT IS NOT SATISFYING

    HEALTHY SATURATED FAT IS SATISFYING..

    Slim down – remove fat

    It was SO quiet here for a while…

    Still posting claims without primary sources, I see.

    And BTW, STILL not a question.

    Here are some sources.

    The best diet for a healthy heart is high-fat (animal fat not vegetable oil), low-carbohydrate because:
    “In this study we compared the effects of variations in dietary fat and carbohydrate (CHO) content on concentrations of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins”. . . “The diets contained, as a percentage of total calories, either 60% CHO, 25% fat, and 15% protein, or 40% CHO, 45% fat, and 15% protein.” “The 60% CHO diet resulted in higher fasting plasma triglycerides (206 ± 50 vs 113 ± 19 mg/dl, p = 0.03), cholesterol (15 ± 6 vs 6 ± 1 mg/dl, p = 0.005), triglyceride (56 ± 25 vs 16 ± 3 mg/dl, p = 0.003), and lower HDL cholesterol (39 ± 3 vs 44 ± 3 mg/dl, p = 0.003) concentrations, without any change in LDL cholesterol concentration.” “Given the atherogenic potential of these changes in lipoprotein metabolism, it seems appropriate to question the wisdom of recommending that all Americans should replace dietary saturated fat with CHO.”
    American Journal of Cardiology
    2000; 85: 45-4

    “Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets [15% protein, 60% carb, 25% fat] increase the risk of heart disease in post-menopausal women.”
    American Journal of Clinical
    Nutrition 1997; 65: 1027-33

    “Medical Research Council survey showed that men eating butter ran half the risk of developing heart disease as those using margarine.”
    Nutrition Week March 22, 1991; 21(12): 2-3

    CONCLUSION: Intakes of saturated fat and monounsaturated fat were associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke in men.

    Saturated fat prevents coronary artery disease.

    How to Lose Weight

    People need to learn the difference between correlation and causation.

    Yes, studies show a correlation between high-carb diets vs. high-fat diets that indicate a high-fat diet may be preferrable… to a high-carb diet.

    Interesting how the research didn’t compare either against a high-protein diet (relatively speaking).

    A good diet is properly balanced: carbs, fats and proteins, combined with an appropriate exercise regimen. The research quoted above is not a carte-blanche to go out and start eating foods laden with fat and grease. Just because there might be no noticeable affect DIRECTLY on the heart doesn’t mean there won’t be concomitant health problems caused that eventually will have indirect impact on heart health, not to mention liver, kidneys, and other systems.

    No wonder the US is turning into a county of lard lumps. Any excuse to chew the fat, right?

    PS: And where the heck do you get off answering your own question? Seems like a violation of Y!A policy….
