I will do a brief series on saturated fats dietary recommendations. The original USDA MyPlate recommendations were based on Ancel Keys' Seven Nations Study. It showed increased heart attack and stroke risk for people living in nations with higher animal fat in their diet. Recently, many scientists have criticized Dr. Keys for cherry-picking data. The term "big fat lie" has been used again when Dr. Christopher Ramsden published a re-analysis of a similar study from the same research group. In fact, critical data were found unpublished. I'll cover this information and others in the upcoming series, BIG FAT LIES. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Countries_Study https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/records-found-in-dusty-basement-undermine-decades-of-dietary-advice/ https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/51/15/1111 https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate/
