Show Notes:

00:00 A review of randomized control trials of at least 24-month duration.
00:45 There are nutrients/vitamins in fat.
01:30 There was little or no effect on cardiovascular or all-cause mortality by reducing
saturated fat for 2 years.
01:38 Reducing saturated fat possibly reduced cardiovascular events.
04:00 Heart attack risk and saturated fat reduction has no clear correlation.
05:30 Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat, carbs, or protein
effects did not differ.
06:15 There may be a prevention of second heart attacks with saturated fat reduction.
07:00 Other cardiovascular events and cancer outcomes effects were very small or unclear.
08:00 Carbohydrates and processed foods are often used to replace saturated fat in the diet.

0:00.0	A recent systematic review finds there is no correlation with saturated fat consumption and
0:04.8	Caravasco disease risk or mortality. In today's show, we're going to break down the key takeaways from this
0:10.2	230 page document that's free right on the internet titled from this
0:15.0	a two hundred and thirty page document that's free right on the internet titled Reduction and saturated Fat Intake for Cardiovascular Disease.
0:19.0	This was a review part of the Cochran Library database of systematic reviews.
0:23.6	And essentially in this systematic review they're only looking at
0:26.6	randomized control trials where dietary fat and or saturated fat was
0:30.3	manipulated and the duration of the randomized controlled trials had to be at
0:34.4	least 24 months duration. And I think this is really important because many people
0:40.0	are still concerned about saturated fat. They buy low fat milk, low fat
0:44.2	yogurt, lean meat instead of meat that has some fat in it, right? Believe it or not
0:48.9	there's nutrients in fat and fat soluble vitamins, vitamin A, Vitamin D, you need fat in your diet to a certain level.
0:56.2	But many health authorities are saying that saturated fat should be no more than 7% of your total
1:01.6	energy intake.
1:03.0	And I think this is worth diving into,
1:05.4	because again, so many people are worried about butter.
1:07.1	So they buy margarine.
1:08.4	And it's crazy because we know that margarine,
1:10.9	some of it, most of the trans fats have been removed from the food
1:14.0	supply, which is great. But we know that these foods are not necessarily any more healthy.
1:17.7	So let's talk about a summary of the main results from this review, again, of randomized
1:21.8	controlled trials where dietary fat and or saturated fat was from this
