Low-fat diet leads to heart disease

Here's yet another study showing that low-fat diets are bad for your heart. For decades, doctors have been telling heart patients to avoid all fats and eat all the sugar they want. The advice, of course, was absurd, and yet I've known heart patients who stick to it religiously and insist their doctor knows more about nutrition than anyone else. In reality, most doctors are nutritionally illiterate, and so for two decades, they've been recommending a diet to heart patients that has literally been killing them.

It's yet another example of bad medicine and misplaced trust in medical authorities. Just because someone wears a lab coat and sports a medical degree doesn't mean they know anything about health. Doctors are trained in diseases, not nutrition, and they're largely clueless when it comes to telling their patients what to eat.

Of course, it is precisely the pioneering doctors who are coming around to the idea that the human body needs healthy fats. Their work is to be applauded! Finally, the low-fat craze of the 80's and 90's is history.
