A survey conducted in 1978 found that a large majority of researchers and practitioners were supportive of the validity of the lipid hypothesis. In this survey, 211 prominent researchers in the field were questioned about the association of the plasma cholesterol biomarker and the link of disease to diet.
Questions:
- Do you think there is a connection between plasma cholesterol level and the development of coronary heart disease?
- Do you think that our knowledge about diet and coronary heart disease is sufficient to recommend a moderate change in the diet for the population of an affluent society?
Ето на какво се основава теорията за вредните животински мазнини. Не на някакъв конкретен биохимичен факт, а на социологическо проучване сред 211 учени. Е, и на зайци хрананеи със сланина. Хищни, зли зайци.
После ме убедете, че човечеството не е малоумно.
ПП: Demographic studies suggest that cholesterol levels form an U-shape curve when plotted against mortality; this suggests that low cholesterol is associated with increased mortality, mainly due to depression, cancer, hemorrhagic stroke and respiratory diseases. It is possible that whatever causes the low cholesterol level also causes mortality, and that the low cholesterol is simply a marker of poor health.
