Publications which could possibly be added
There are some publications that challenge the prevalent view that saturated fat is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke and I would like to bring them up here.
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20071648/ Meta-analysis of a few hundred thousand people
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24723079/ Another meta-analysis that in total includes over 600,000 people
- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23386268/ RCT of some hundred people
Can these be considered reliable? Mondtaler (talk) 20:33, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- They are not reliable and are outdated. We have already had back and forth at these studies for years on this talk-page. Check the archives. Very briefly the Ronald M. Krauss 2010 meta-analysis was flawed because it contained a major overadjustment for serum cholesterol concentrations. Frank B Hu who co-wrote the meta-analysis later denounced it. Jeremiah Stamler also took issue with their methodology. There's no point in going into depth on this because we wouldn't need to cite a dodgy 2010 meta-analysis when we have much more recent reliable sources.
