Saturated fats do not cause heart disease. This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Minnesota, published in the March issue of the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

The cornerstone of the dietary recommendations of the new time is to avoid such products as butter, cheese and red meat, because saturated fats clog the arteries of the human body.. According to the results of the largest study of the diet “Seven Countries”, conducted with the participation of 13 thousand people in the USA, Japan and European countries, it was found that heart disease is not an inevitable result of aging, but depends on the quality of consumed foods.

Modern studies confirm that data obtained by nutritionists of the mid-20th century are methodologically inaccurate and far from reality..

One of the consequences of reducing fat in the diet is excessive consumption of carbohydrates, which is currently 25% more than in the early 1970s. At the same time, consumption of saturated fat decreased by 11%.. As a result, instead of meat, eggs and cheese, people consume more pasta, grains, fruits, and starchy vegetables, such as potatoes.. Even seemingly healthy non-fatty foods, in particular yogurt, suffer from fat removal and require fatty texture substitutes.. Such substitutes usually contain large amounts of carbohydrates..
