Question about the science of the Saturated fat debate

(May-Britt Scheffer) #1

Hi Everyone!

Newbe here :slight_smile:
I have been on Keto about 2,5 months now. Things are going slowly, but going :slight_smile:
I also do a lot of IF and some longer fasts. Keto does make it easier!
So I have a question about the saturated fat debate. I have been searching for the research disputing it is bad for you. I totally believe we have been lied to, but I would like to point others towards the science, and I would like to read it myself as well. I have been searching in the forum, but I can’t seem to find it!
Could someone please point me in the right direction? :see_no_evil:
Thank you! Great forum! :+1:

Nina Teicholz is a science journalist, and author of The Big Fat Surprise - a book that is frequently discussed around here - maybe use the search bar?

She’s done lots of talks that are on youtube - Teicholz is a strong advocate for nutrition policy based on rigorous science, ie, low-carb high good fat!

Hm yes, I know about that book, but I have found an article disputing her claims, not saying I believe said article per se, but I would like to actually read some articles for myself. And obviously I have used the search bar, but didn’t find any actual studies. Hence the question :slight_smile:

This one is quite interesting although I can only get the abstract and from 1994!
