British doctors: the disastrous consequences of the war against cholesterol Bashny.Net

Medical propaganda to convince millions of people in western countries to abandon the consumption of animal fats and switch to low-fat dairy products, caused tremendous harm to public health and had "devastating consequences", - the conclusion made by the British medical association the National Obesity Forum (National Obesity Forum) and The Association of public health (public health Collaboration) based on the growing body of epidemiological studies recently.




All attempts to scientifically prove a causal link between animal fat intake and cardiovascular disease have been unsuccessful. Worse, the accumulated facts obviously contrary to the generally accepted theory. No scientist fighters with animal fats could not explain why the French and the Germans stubbornly faithful to fatty foods and meat, leaner Americans and less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases.

Recall and "forgotten" the truth that eats human food does not gets his blood intact, swallowed oil is not able to be deposited on the walls of blood vessels - cholesterol produced in the liver, especially in the larger quantities than less saturated fat in the diet person.

In the last ten years, when the contradictions between theory and practice acquired blatant evidence, on the pages of scientific journals have become increasingly appear studies that indicate possible harm diet low in animal fats.

Excluding fat from the diet inevitably causes a person to compensate for the forgone calories carbohydrates - including easily digestible, such as refined sugar. And such carbohydrates, causing enhanced production of insulin, a signal is body fat from the blood to take "extra" glucose and convert it into new fat tissue.

Thus a vicious circle of disturbed metabolism, familiar to anyone who suffers from excess weight: the chronically high level of insulin fat "work" for themselves, depriving the body of energy, which leads to a constant feeling of hunger and fatigue, deprives a person of strength to get up from the couch and urges to eat something else, "delicious." And if it's "tasty" is bold, it may be better than the "net" carbs: fat in the presence of carbohydrates cause less sharp rise in blood insulin

. National Obesity Forum and the Public Health Association urge the public health system urgently and radically revise its recommendations on healthy eating. They are strongly advised his fellow citizens to return to the "full meal" including fatty meats and butter, and categorically excluded from the diet of low-fat yogurt, margarine, vegetable oils, low quality (canola, soybean and pr.) and other "healthy" food, which spread aggressively contributed to the health authorities.

The global war against cholesterol has created a huge industry, "healthy eating", bringing huge profits. The authors of the report of the British government accused of pandering to commercial interests and corruption. Just because of this, in their opinion, the long-known facts of medical science still does not become the property of the widest publicity. Lobbyists food industry involved in the preparation of the official recommendations for a healthy diet - and this, according to the authors of the report, is a serious danger to public health

. The head of the National Forum of obesity, Professor David Haslam, said that for a long time realized the disastrous descent "from above" instructions recommended in patients with a diet low in fat.

Decade "healthy eating" in the West brought a sharp rise in the obesity epidemic and related illnesses. Cardiologist Asim Malhotra of the Public Health Association called the war against cholesterol "probably the greatest mistake in the history of modern medicine, which had devastating consequences for public health."
