Concerns that saturated fats have been unfairly 'demonised' prompts Government advice re-think
Citando:
"Current advice states that saturated fats should be restricted to 10 percent of the total calories consumed, following years of prevailing thought which linked it to an increased risk of heart disease.
Two studies in the last two years found no such link, however."
(...)
"It coincides with a controversial report last month by the National Obesity Forum which recommended that people eat more fat and fewer carbohydrates.
A report in the medical journal Open Heart last year said the government’s advice to reduce the amount of fat in the diet, introduced in 1983 in a bid to cut rates of coronary heart disease, was not supported by the scientific evidence available at the time, including the results of randomised controlled trials."
