What's going on is that the AHA reiterated their stance on saturated fats being bad for you. The article was, among places, in MedScape news. The article is called "AHA Issues 'Presidential Advisory' on Harms of Saturated Fat"
Now the real gold are some of the comments by RN's, physicians (even some cardiologists). Lots of them have woke up and RIPPED the AHA a new one in the comment section in MedScape. They also rip into canola oil and margarine.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12781064 Saturated fats are the building blocks of your brain and nervous system. Your brain and nerves are made of cholesterol. Also cholesterol is a basic building block of the necessary hormones of your body, if I'm not mistaken.
you need cholesterol, and your body only produces 10% of what you need. The rest has to come from your diet.
Seriously, your brain is made of cholesterol!!! They're trying to kill you, it's impossible to deny.
The reason it seems like cholesterol clogs your arteries, is because your arteries get damaged, they get lesions from lack of minerals and vitamin C. Then your body uses cholesterol to cover the lesions so your blood doesn't leak out.
Cholesterol isn't the problem. It's weak veins caused by mineral deficiencies and lack of vitamin C that is the problem.
At least that's my understanding.
