This could be one of the studies youwant to shout “Extra, Extra, Read All About It!” It is a goodthought, but for a small study with no controls, there is no way youcan proclaim it worthy of shouting it from the roof tops. It isworthy of a mention and a hope that others will decide to take up themantle and once and for all prove that saturated fat is good for us.
Eversince 1953, when a physiologist named Ancel Keys, Ph.D., stated thatfat was not good for us and rigged the results of his study, slowlypeople are disproving this to be true and showing that saturated fatactually helps heart health. The medical establishment has carteblanche accepted Keys and still pronounces it as fact.
Thisis the reason studies of this type are not funded in the USA. Atleast Sweden has a small study we can at least point to andacknowledge. Many of us with type 2 diabetes know this is correctand can say with certainty that we believe the study, though small iscorrect. I am surprised that it even was published in the US.
The study is a two year dietary studyat Linkoping University in Sweden and 61 participants were randomizedinto two groups. One group followed a low carbohydrate high fat dietand the other group a high carbohydrate low fat diet. Both groupslost approximately nine pounds. Since I am not able to find aconversion table for the blood glucose levels, I will have to assumethey are correct.
The important fact that needs attentionis that in the high fat diet, lipoproteins levels did not get worse. Instead, HDL (the good cholesterol) actually increased. In the lowfat group, neither the blood glucose nor lipoproteins showed anyimprovement.
For the follow-up study, all 61participants stayed in the study. This means or should indicate thatthe quality of the data is more dependable than most studies. Howmany more years are we going to have to wait to see the results of alarger study that can give further validity to this? Won't happen inthe USA.
