Cholesterol & Saturated Fats- A Myth?

[Guest guest]

If you should have any reservations about your child eating

saturated fats the following web site should dispel many of them:

http://www.thincs.org/ .

THINCS is a steadily growing group of scientists, physicians, other

academicians and science writers from various countries. Members of

this group represent different views about the causation of

atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, some of them are in

conflict with others, but this is a normal part of science. What

they all oppose is that animal fat and high cholesterol play a role.

The aim with this website is to inform their colleagues and the

public that this idea is not supported by scientific evidence; in

fact, for many years a huge number of scientific studies have

directly contradicted it.

Since I just found this resource I have not had a chance to review

all the information but I did find a few that I initially pulled up

to be very informative. You may find these interesting, especially

the articles from the prestigious British Medical Journal (BMJ) and

articles contained in the BMJ reference section:
