Saturated Fat and Heart Disease Research

So the government actually did a bunch of randomized control clinical trials on

tens of thousands of people testing to see if saturated fat and cholesterol

caused heart disease. They actually took groups of people,

and they, they did this

in mental hospitals where they totally controlled what people ate, and half the

people they gave, you know, meat, butter, cheese, regular high

saturated fat and cholesterol diet, and half the people they s- you know,

gave them

soy-filled cheese and margarine instead of butter

and soy-filled meat.

And in those randomized, those rigorous experiments on tens of

thousands of

people, they could not show that the people eating the meat

and the butter and the

cheese died at higher rates from heart disease.

In fact, they showed in one of the most famous

experiments called the Minnesota

Coronary Survey on 9,000 men and women over

four and a half years, they found the more the men lowered their

cholesterol, the more likely they were to die of a heart attack.

So what happened to all those experiments? They were not...

That particular experiment wasn't published for 16 years.

Other experiments I found sat in NIH, National Institute of Health

basement, never published, ignored, not included, just ignored or

suppressed. It's like out of a crime novel.

It's crazy.

And so what was the American Heart Association doing?

Ignoring all those clinical trials.

So the American Heart Association is basically just, uh, almost protecting

their incorrect statements of the past.

That's what they're doing. So, right.
