Thanks Terry, I was convinced about what this study says- with some timidity

My dear friends,

An excellent issue- a proof the the World is interesting and active and
the

is a great place but dangerous - hic leones...
Ni-H LENR increasingly interesting, first of all due to the good
engineers
from Defkalion
(as Jed Rothwell has said today too) Interesting developments...
I found this report particularly interesting:

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
A reduction in dietary saturated fat has generally been thought to
improve cardiovascular health.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this meta-analysis was to summarize the evidence
related to the association of dietary saturated fat with risk of
coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and cardiovascular disease (CVD;
CHD inclusive of stroke) in prospective epidemiologic studies.
DESIGN:
Twenty-one studies identified by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE
databases and secondary referencing qualified for inclusion in this
study. A random-effects model was used to derive composite relative
risk estimates for CHD, stroke, and CVD.
RESULTS:
During 5-23 y of follow-up of 347,747 subjects, 11,006 developed CHD
or stroke. Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an
increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD. The pooled relative risk
estimates that compared extreme quantiles of saturated fat intake were
1.07 (95% CI: 0.96, 1.19; P = 0.22) for CHD, 0.81 (95% CI: 0.62, 1.05;
P = 0.11) for stroke, and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.89, 1.11; P = 0.95) for CVD.
Consideration of age, sex, and study quality did not change the
results.
CONCLUSIONS:
A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there
is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat
is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are
needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by
the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.

So, chow down guilt free for the Fourth, Americans. And let's hope
for oil independence day for the world.
