People say this old study proved that eating fatty foods causes heart disease, but it only picked countries where both fat intake and heart disease were low—and ignored places where people ate lots of fat but still had low heart disease. That makes the conclusion unfair.
A famous old study that tried to link eating butter and meat to heart disease might have gotten it wrong because it picked countries in a biased way and asked people what they ate during times when they were fasting, which doesn’t show their normal eating habits.
A famous old study that helped start the idea that eating fat causes heart disease picked countries in a way that might have skewed the results, and it didn’t properly count how much saturated fat people ate when they were fasting for religious reasons.
Even when researchers accounted for how many total calories people ate or how much other fats they consumed, the link between saturated fat and heart disease still didn’t show up.
For people who haven't had a heart attack yet, how much fat they eat doesn't seem to affect their chance of dying from heart disease, according to combined data from several long-term studies.
