Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. This statement, although sadly popular, has never been based on honestly evaluated scientific research and it has no support in the history of human health and nutrition.

Did you know that during the period of rapid increase in heart disease between 1920 and 1960, American consumption of animal fats declined but consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically according to USDA-HNIS? Traditional populations who consumed plenty of saturated fats from animal sources, organ meats and cholesterol rich foods enjoyed vibrant health and were heart disease free. In my own nursing experience I have noticed that most of the people who had extensive heart troubles (coronary artery disease, arterial plagues, congestive heart failure, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
