Trouvé vite fait dans mon mail ce matin, un article du NYT sur les graisses saturées :

Qui dit que bon, c’est quand même pas si bon, bla bla bla, il faut mieux des graisses non saturées et réduire le fromage et les laitages. J’ai pas trop la patience de lire les études (j’ai un business plan sur le feu) … alors je regarde les commentaires vite fait.

Il y en a un qui est éclairant : (Ms Brody est l’auteur de l’article; et Dr Sack a fait la méta analyse en référence de l’article)

Ms. Brody, like some president, when you are wrong, you simply refuse to admit it, but rather, just double down, huh?
From the jacket of your old book, Jane Brody’s Good Food Book: Living the High-Carbohydrate Way:
“For countless readers, the best-selling Jane Brody’s Nutrition Book became their “Bible,”…in which Jane Brody demonstrated that our diet should lean more heavily on complex carbohydrates—starchy foods such as potatoes, rice, pasta, beans, and bread—than it now does.”

So how well did that potato-pasta-&-bread thing work out for America’s obesity and diabetes rates?
How much responsibility do you and Harvard’s elderly men have for those rates?

You write: “Dr. Sack’s team summarized the results of four “core” trials conducted in the 60s…”
Yes, Dr. Sacks, well over 70 years old, ignored literally hundreds of studies over the last 50 years in this latest diatribe to go back to the incorrect studies of the 1960s. The 60s.

News flash: In the 50 years since, science has advanced!
Turns out fats are actually generally good for you, not bad for you. And saturated fats are basically neutral. This is what hundreds of better, more modern studies say.
See, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2DaqrKq6e0. If you want to read the literature itself, try: PMID 27547428, 26268692, 24723079, 20071648, 16467234 & 22208554.

Ms. Brody, you too are well over 70. Move passed the 1960s.

Toujours amusant de voir à qui profite le crime et de la difficulté de changer de position. Ce qui vaut pour moi aussi j’en conviens !
