Default Anti-fat articles misquote studies

The quantity of misinformation on the web is astounding. Take this example from a doctor's article on a website called the healthy eating club.

http://www.healthyeatingclub.com/in...hol/sat-fat.htm

This doctor uses this study to claim that the fatty acids in saturated fat raise cholesterol.

Quote:
It has been recognised that lauric acid, myristic acid and palmitic acid elevate the level of plasma cholesterol when substituted for carbohydrate in the diet (Mensink et al. Arterioscler Thromb 1992; 12: 911-9).


But what the study actually concluded was:

"Surprisingly, our regression equation would predict that replacement of saturates by carbohydrates yields little if any improvement in coronary risk."

The low-fat myth continues.
