For instance Keys ended up landing a key spot on the nutrition committee of the American Heart Association. Note Nina Teicholz has been researching dietary fat and nutrition fro over 10 years.

In addition another study found that people over 65 need more protein and found eating more meat etc is needed.

When it comes to diet we are all different. A Harvard Study some years ago posit that there are three types when it comes to issue of fat excretors , compensators and storers and that it is the latter group that has a problem with saturate fat.

All of the studies that determined the lipid hypothesis were flawed. They looked at diets in something like thirty different countries to try to draw a connection between cholesterol and heart disease. The problem is that when the data didn't agree with the results they were looking for they eliminated those countries from the study.

And even beyond that, new information concludes that high cholesterol does not cause coronary problems. It's only when the cholesterol become glycated (bonded with sugar molecules) and the endothelium becomes inflamed that cholesterol particles begin to embed themselves in the artery walls.
