Low fat diets: Not fit for purpose
Then in 2000, a group of scientists called the Cochrane Collaboration analysed 27 of the most rigorously controlled studies involving more than 18,000 participants and found that diets low in saturated fats have no significant effect on mortality, or even on deaths due to heart attacks. Two years ago came the Women’s Health Initiative trial involving 20,000 women over eight years, which found that a diet low in total fat and saturated fat had no impact in reducing heart disease or weight.
