"I’d agree regarding the importance of the public getting evidence-based advice. But why the need for further research? Are the results not clear? The pooled results of 48 studies show that low-fat eating or replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fats is an unmitigated failure. Why do we need more research? In the hope of keeping the fallacy alive?
What do the authors mean when they say “No clear effects of these interventions on total or cardiovascular mortality were seen.” Let me reword this line for the authors and call a spade a spade: “Conventional dietary advice regarding fat consumption has been proven to have no effect on risk of heart attack or stroke or cardiovascular mortality or total mortality – they don’t prevent disease nor save lives. We should abandon them.”

I think the reason for more research/work is for some they want or need to keep the fallacy alive.
You can't tell me that eating a higher fat diet does harm, people were doing it for many generations and I'm sure were a lot healthier for it.
