On Thursday, June 17, 2017, the American Heart Association issued this: “Advisory: Replacing saturated fat with healthier fat could lower cardiovascular risks” and stories referencing it have been popping up all over the internet. As I sip my bulletproof coffee and ponder the why of it all, I started assembling some of the articles both pre- and post advisory that may be relevant.
Gary Taubes — VEGETABLE OILS, (FRANCIS) BACON, BING CROSBY, AND THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION
British Journal of Sports Medicine — Saturated fat does not clog the arteries: coronary heart disease is a chronic inflammatory condition, the risk of which can be effectively reduced from healthy lifestyle interventions
Ellen Davis — American Heart Association: Trustworthy?
I think I’ll have another cup of coffee.
