Health Guidance

A total lack of any supportive evidence does not necessarily prove that fat/saturated fat in the diet does not cause heart disease. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, let me now mention a few of the most powerful pieces of evidence that directly contradict the diet-heart hypothesis. But where to begin? There is just so much to choose from.

I think the best place to start is with the biggest trial on dietary modification ever done, and the biggest that will ever be done. Fifty million people were placed on a low saturated-fat diet for fourteen years. Sausages, eggs, cheese, bacon and milk were severely restricted. Fruit and fish, however, were freely available, those oh-so healthy foods.

Yes, you have guessed what I am talking about. Rationing in the UK during and after WWII. But did not I say that heart-disease rates fell during the war, and was not this used as evidence in support of the diet-heart hypothesis? Yes, I did say that. But how on earth anyone could possibly use the evidence from rationing to support the hypothesis is beyond me saturated fat is so deadly that even a future fall in its consumption will lead to a sudden drop in deaths from heart disease in the present! Proof that the space-time continuum is less rigid than we believe and saturated fat can leak through.

The most interesting facts to emerge about rationing are:

1: For 12 years, saturated fat consumption was severely restricted.

2: Fruit and fish consumption increased.

3: The rate of heart disease nearly trebled.I know, it is a bit of a paradox, isnot it? And speaking of paradoxes, I would like to introduce you to a few more.

The most famous paradox is the French Paradox.
