I can't link to the study for some reason, probably because I don't have X as an app, never signed up. So I'm curious... what about the cohort of the study that used only animal fat? What were the longitudinal findings on that group?
Thank you. A perusal of the study doesn't seem to provide direct discussion of the control cohort (animal fat diet), but it does strongly imply that that cohort did much better than the test group. Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the clearest difference in the two cohorts. Bottom line, I'm going to quit worrying about my cholesterol, especially since I don't use seed oils and don't avoid animal fats.
In fact, I'm heading to my kitchen in a few minutes to scramble some country fresh eggs from a local farm and chop in some beef brisket and cheddar cheese for breakfast.
Eat eggs! Don’t eat eggs! We aren’t sure if you can eat eggs! Don’t eat eggs! Eggs can be women too! Here have a vaccine to incorporate chicken DNA into your own!
Thanks for posting.
Ancel Keyes hid this data in his basement along with other studies that did not support his hypothesis that animal fats and cholesterol were the main causes of heart attacks. He cherry picked data to purposely mislead people into believing him. His research was supported by Proctor and Gamble, the company who stood to earn billions with the sale of their product - CRISCO OIL and Shortening. CRISCO is made from Crystalized Cotton Seed Oil, and shortening is made by bubbling hydrogen through the oil producing hydrogenated oils to produce margarine which is a trans fat that causes heart disease.
The American Heart Association was a small fledgling organization in the early 1960s when they won a radio contest sponsored by Proctor and Gamble. The prize was $1 Million. Shortly thereafter, they began promulgating the message that saturated fat and cholesterol caused heard disease, therefore eat vegetable oils and reduce your cholesterol. Heart disease rate have skyrocketed since the early 1960s. Obesity rates took off after 1973 when high fructose corn syrup was allowed in food products.
In 1968, researchers ran the largest randomised trial ever done on saturated fat.
Over 9,000 people in Minnesota state hospitals were split between animal fat and corn oil for years.
The corn oil group’s cholesterol dropped hard.
The full results never got published.
The raw data sat on magnetic tapes in a basement for over forty years.
A researcher named Christopher Ramsden tracked those tapes down in 2013 and ran the numbers the original team never released.
For every 30 point drop in cholesterol, death risk rose 22 percent.
The lower the cholesterol fell, the faster people died.
In the over 65s, each drop of roughly half a point on the cholesterol scale carried a 35 percent higher death risk within two years.
The trial is real.
It was double blind.
It was the gold standard design.
And it found the exact opposite of what dietary guidelines were about to be built on.
It sat unpublished for over forty years while the low fat, high vegetable oil advice became national policy.
This was not a small study lost in the noise.
It was the largest of its kind.
And the finding that mattered most never reached a single doctor’s desk for four decades.

Oh yeah, I eat eggs and I get them free from a farmer friend I know.
Yes sir..i like that.
you can replace "x.com" with a Nitter link and it will bypass x.
Thank you.
An inconvenient truth.
... that's the "industry's view", not the people's!

Say it ain't so that researchers COLLUDED WITH BIG FOOD COMPANIES TO CAUSE "DEATH"!!!!!!! OHHH MYYYY
It's a big club ....and they beat us with it. OY

It had some trans fat but it's not supposed to contain trans fat anymore.
Though that could mean they reduced the serving size below the FDA's threshold for reporting trans fat.
It also doesn't mean it wont become trans fat if you're cooking with it.
