The truth is, almost 90 percent of all well-researched studies examining
this hypothesis do not support the fact that saturated fats and dietary
cholesterol cause heart disease. In fact, researchers have found that a
clogged artery is composed of about 26 percent saturated fat and more
than half polyunsaturated fat.
Since the 1960s, there have been a wealth of studies assuring us that
saturated fats found in dairy products, such as butter and whole milk, as
well as red meats, increase “bad” LDL cholesterol levels and contribute to
heart disease.
These studies spearheaded our nation’s obsession with “low-fat” prod-
ucts, and a campaign began promoting the use of polyunsaturated fats
such as corn, safflower and soybean oil.
The Lipid Hypothesis Just Doesn’t Make Sense
Although you will find a number of studies where researchers have
induced heart disease in animals by loading them up with huge doses of
oxidized and rancid cholesterol (about 10 times the amount found in the
ordinary human diet), modern research contradicts the cholesterol-heart
disease connection.
Famous heart surgeon Michael E. DeBakey found that in a survey of
1,700 patients with hardening of the arteries, there was no relationship at
all between the level of cholesterol in the blood and the predominance of
atherosclerosis.
