Sometimes who holds in science about the food especially in WHO makes things complicated and even giving us people the confusing ideas to consider.

Maybe people have it for personal interest.

The health authorities are fully aware of the serious flaws and omissions in this meta-analysis. This study was funded by the National Dairy Council, dairy being the number one source of saturated fat in the U.S. and many other parts of the world. It was also conveniently published just before the USDA lowered the dietary recommendations of saturated fat for the first time in 20 years, from 10% to 7% of total calories.

Below is a section from the statement released by the European Heart Network in regards to their opinion of this meta-analysis, titled “European Heart Network position piece: Impact of saturated fat on cardiovascular disease obscured by over‐adjustment in recent meta‐analysis”

“However, the meta‐analysis (and an accompanying opinion piece by the same authors (4)) is compromised by a number of serious flaws and omissions.”
“The most serious of these flaws is an over‐adjustment for serum cholesterol levels.”
“Adjustment for serum cholesterol levels will inevitably bias the results of the meta-analyses towards finding no association between dietary saturated fat intake and cardiovascular disease, but the authors do not mention this limitation in their article.”
“As Jeremiah Stamler asserts in his editorial, what was actually found by the meta-analysis was ‘a statistically non-significant relation of SFA [saturated fat] to CHD... independent of other dietary lipids, serum lipids, and other covariates’. A more appropriate and informative analysis would have included non-adjusted associations between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease. An examination of the forest plots provided in the article shows that those cohort studies that did not adjust for serum cholesterol levels were more likely to find a positive association between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular disease, suggesting that a meta-analysis of unadjusted data would likely produce positive results.”

The full statement from the European Heart Network can be found below with references to studies that show a positive relationship between saturated fat and heart disease:

Taube's book, Good Calories, Bad Calories, tells us how this body of "knowledge" gets the way it does and why we are told what we are told. I am fascinated by meta-studies that demonstrate different results than individual studies. I teach social science researchers how to be good consumers of research and know what all of us readers should know (and aren't taught in school ever, but don't get me started). This will be added to my readings. Thanks.

It may be in Men's Health, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. I think the media non-response goes beyond what sponsors want and into the realm of "does not compute" for most people. That is the response I often get when mentioning studies like this one. People are now thoroughly imprinted with the saturated fat/cholesterol dogma. It's like telling them the moon landing didn't happen.

Mad props to Men's Health! :)

Seems to me like the media is ignoring it. I've only seen you and a few other bloggers talking about it. Of course, the media will often bend to the wishes of advertisers, who of course have all kinds of low- and non-fat items to market...
