Is saturated fat killing us?

This is the age old question we’ve been asking since the 1950s and if you are like I was you think it is case-closed but the answer appears to be more complicated.

I stumbled upon Dr. Peter Attia a few years ago after watching a very moving Ted Talk he gave about diabetes and his personal experience treating patients and eventually himself. I highly recommend watching that Ted Talk as it shows his motivations clearly. However, I think his lecture, showing the deficiencies of the research modern medicine basis its anti-saturated-fat-stance on, is more important. It doesn’t answer the question but it does poke some major holes in the “established science”. In short summary Dr. Attia makes the case that the original studies were too poorly designed to draw any conclusions from and many scientists at the time agreed.

Let me know what you think of these videos. I plan to share a lot of articles and videos related to this topic over the next few weeks.
