the sooner we get away from BEEF

Quote from killthesunshine:

Here is a better one.

A recent study reported issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed the harm from even one meal high in fat (where the fat came from coconut oil)

COCONUT OIL SUCKS! :D

"You may be surprised to find out that arterial function was actually better after the coconut oil meal than the safflower oil meal! Or that, contrary to the claims of the Associated Press article, the authors never measured inflammatory components in the subjects' blood. Or further, that they provided absolutely no evidence that different types of fatty acids, such as saturated or unsaturated, had anything to do with their findings!

In fact, they completely overlooked an alternative explanation that has substantial evidence in the scientific literature to support it: the differences they observed between the anti-inflammatory effects of the different diets may have been due largely or entirely to the difference in vitamin E content of the diets rather than the type of fatty acids present in the oils."

i read the FACTS not the fantasy. From MY study:
Methods


Experimental protocol. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Central Sydney Area Health Service. Subjects, aged 18 to 40 years, without cardiovascular risk factors or established cardiovascular disease, provided written informed consent and attended after an overnight fast on 2 occasions, separated by 1 month. Subjects consumed 1 of 2 isocaloric meals comprising a slice of carrot cake and a milkshake containing 1 g of fat/kg of body weight. The first meal contained safflower oil (fatty acid composition: 75% polyunsaturated, 13.6% monounsaturated, and 8.8% saturated fat).

The second meal contained COCONUT OIL (fatty acid composition: 89.6% saturated fat, 5.8% monounsaturated, and 1.9% polyunsaturated fat). The order of meals ingested was determined by random allocation and was blinded to the investigators. Female subjects attended within 7 days from the commencement of menstruation to control for the effect of hormonal variation during the menstrual cycle on vascular function. Venous blood was collected and assessments of venous plethysmography followed by brachial artery reactivity were performed in the fasting state and 3 and 6 h after the meal.

ps the 2nd meal did the damage :D

Conclusion: These findings suggest that higher intake of green leafy vegetables may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease through favorable changes in cardiac autonomic function.
