NUTRITION NEWS FOCUS
"Nutrition news is important. We help you understand it!"

Today's Topic: Demonizing Dietary Fat

An outstanding article appeared in the March 30, 2001 issue of Science magazine which was entitled "The Soft Science of Dietary Fat." This was nine full pages of scientists' skeptical views on past promises that reducing dietary fat would conquer heart disease. This magazine can be found in most university libraries; its Web site is accessible only to subscribers.

During the past 30 years, avoiding dietary fat has been the mantra for most of the public and many scientists. However, a significant number of disbelievers among researchers were ignored by the media and their peers. It is becoming clearer that data simply do not link total fat intake with a major impact on heart disease or most types of cancer.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Two telling quotes from this article include: "[Scientists] say, 'you really need a high level of proof to change the recommendations,' which is ironic, because they never had a high level of proof to set them." People who have claimed this all along were dismissed by the majority. And, "Everybody used to complain that industry didn't do anything on nutrition, yet anybody who got involved was blackballed because their positions were presumably influenced by industry." Who else should industry turn to but the best experts they can find?
