Ally 5555 still spreading the fear !

Over at d.co.uk

“Ray - I am sure you are much healthier now that you have removed all the sat fat, trans fats etc from all the rubbish you previously ate.

Healthy eating guidelines do not eliminate foods that contain sat fat like meat , eggs and cheese by the way! I eat carbs but I am not a diabetic and have a cholesterol of 3.6!

It is a amazing the highest cholesterol level I can ever recall was from a pt when I was a student at a leading London hospital - the lady ate 12 eggs and 4 pounds of beef a day , plus a few veggies - her cholesterol was very high - her blood looked like cream!
Would be interesting to eat like that !”

But on the dietitions forum dietetics.co.uk
　
“anecdotally i think that the problem lies in junk and trans fats. I have never felt that saturated fat from meat etc was the problem - unless eating ridiculous amounts and I have seen that too!

I think also we must not take chol in isolation - BP, smoking, lack of exercise, very overwt - they all play a part. It is just not that simple - oh and too much alcohol - says she with a glass of wine in her hand!

Although a small amount of trans fat is found in nature it’s the man made trans/hydrogenated fats that have done all the damage. Saturated fats are harmless and have been consumed since the beginning of time. Lumping man made trans fats and saturated fats together is a old trick used by the spreaders of fear and those who know no better.

By the way I’m a diabetic not a dietition.
