I thought I'd create a thread for all the reports or studies that "hit the wires." Here is a recent one:
Here is a passage from the report:
Report title: "Diet High In Saturated Fat Contributes To Prostate Cancer Treatment Failure, Study Suggests."
"Saturated fats were most commonly consumed as beef steaks, cheese and cheese spreads, hamburgers and cheeseburgers, eggs, ice cream and salad dressings..."
Note that such imprecision makes it impossible to know whether SFAs were the culprit or something else, including the PUFAs interacting in the context of cooked meat and generating dangerous HCAs. The evidence, when viewed as a whole, makes the claim that SFAs ("saturated fat," of course, if a phrase that is too imprecise for scientific uses, as things stand right now). I "suggest" that they learn how to do science properly before scaring the public.
