We also need a control group eating an extremely high-fat diet (60-80%), with 20-30% protein, and 0-10% carbs. Controlling for the type of fat is only one variable. Carbs and proteins must also be controlled to generate meaningful conclusions. I simply ignore claims based upon epidemiological studies. I call them "epidem-illogical" studies. Correlation doesn't prove causality. Traditional Eskimos and many other tribes ate lots of cooked meat, and yet were free of every disease. Stefansson also did his Bellevue study eating cooked meat for over a year, with no deficiencies or health complications.
