No Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease


Or at least that is what this study says.



Meanwhile I am going to slap some pure, real, golden butter on my toast this morning and relish every bite!

I loves me some real butter. Best stuff ever!

This study does not surprise me a bit. My grandfather's breakfast consisted of: coffee, orange juice, a giant bowl of puffed rice with whole milk, 2 eggs sunnyside, 4 slices of bacon, and 2 slices of white bread with gobs of butter.

He consumed this every day like clockwork - for 89 years.

Authorities are quick to condemn food and drink or just about anything else when a study says they are bad for your health, but awfully slow to swing the other way when a different study says otherwise. Just one of the reasons I have difficulty listening to the "autorities."

As for meat, eggs and dairy products...well, I aim to misbehave! Bring them on!

All things in moderation. Especially advice from a bunch of twits about the good food that people have been eating for eons! Eat that butter, baby! :) Fry up some eggs in lard and have a big ol' fat soaked steak!

It's so funny when this stuff gets to the mainstream - all the low fat foods, unnatural foods do not help a bit or there wouldn't be an obesity epidemic.

Lots a people around here lived into their 90's, eating butter, lard, eggs and drinking whole milk. I think their good food and active lives kept them going.

When organizations like Weston Price are considered lunatics because they advise eating whole foods, you gotta wonder.

My grandparents lived into their 90's on diets we are warned will kill us. I think it is the worrying about food that is more dangerous than the food.

I think the real risk for heart disease comes from not being active...no matter what you eat.

Dani, It is indeed!

Akagaga, same here. The boss's mom milked cows twice a day until she was 85. And she loved butter and cheese and bacon....

Joated, thanks for your misbehavior!

JB, good stuff. lol. The boss's mother always made her pie crust with lard and man, could she make pie. The church begged her for all she could produce for their fund raising efforts. And as I said above, she milked cows twice a day, even when she broke her arm, until she was 85

Nita, you are so right!

Linda, good for you!

Jan, I couldn't agree more....

June, exactly

Cathy said...

Holy cow.

Back to butter, then.

Cathy, what bugs me about this study being publicized as if it were brand new, is that the lack of a link has been known and written about for several years. This isn't the first study...but the powers that be don't want to change their advice no matter what. I wonder why...
