Accusing me of ignorance and recommending the use of saturated animal fat for cancer prevention in the same post is quite an, er, accomplishment.

It takes quite a bit these days to get me to raise my eyebrows, but you have succeeded where many have failed.

I’m an expat DO practising in the UK. I moved to take part in trials of lifestyle intervention in people with coronary artery disease (mostly post-MI/bypass/stent patients) and I have a special place in my heart for people who think animal fat is good for you.

I have no problem with people who make a lifestyle choice to eat a porterhouse dripping in bernaise sauce and creamed potatoes for dinner every day, consequences be damned, but I find it really pathetic that so many people are desperate for some one to tell them its healthy.

You don’t have to look far to find whole populations were the staples are refined carbs and whose cancer and CAD rates are far lower than the western EU and US as a whole and those who adopt the “traditional” meat and potatoes western diet especially.

For some reason the first part didn’t erase the first time
