I've said it before but rather than saying it again, I'm going to let this article do it for me.
Use of dietary linoleic acid for secondary
prevention of coronary heart disease and death: evaluation of recovered data
from the Sydney Diet Heart Study and updated meta-analysis
It
shows that most of the vegetable oils that we have been told are healthy not
only are not but are, in fact, harmful. If you have consistently been reading
this blog then you know I addressed this with this post some while back.
I
won’t gloat. I reached my differing conclusions because as a Ketosis Prone Type
2 diabetic the advice that was given to me about health was an
unmitigated disaster. This type of diabetes, makes us the knockout mice of
diabetics. We always seem to stand outside the standard dogma and, because we
do, we point at other answers that have been obscured or forgotten. This is why
I say our type of diabetes should be studied and studied, hard. Of course, till
that day comes, you’ve still got me. ; )
Anyway,
I’ve no intention of reinventing the wheel. What I’ve done is gone off and
found some very good discussions of this paper that you can read at your
leisure.
I want to add this brief addendum. Note that the reduction in cholesterol did not change the rate of mortality. This maybe the first nail in the coffin of the cholesterol hypothesis.
Here's some more on the same topic over at the "Heretic".
