The MRC researchers will look at two types of diets that vary in their fat and carbohydrate content.
One type will be a low fat, high carbohydrate diet and the other will be a moderate fat diet where the saturated fats are replaced by monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA).

Again the 'experts' are allowing their biases to determine what they will be studying. I doubt they have any data that proves that the saturated fats cause any problems related to metabolic syndrome. I'm sure that the results will look better on the lower carb diet and that the 'experts' will then announce that monosaturated fats are therefore better that saturated fats.
It is much harder to eat naturally when saturated fats are replaced with monosaturated fats in a diet. This greatly reduces food choices. |
