Dietary fat guidelines have no evidence base: where next for public health nutritiona

Dr Zoe Harcombe's recent paper in the BJSM is now available on Open Access.
She mentioned in her recent talk this is a summary of her PhD.

Quote:

Here is some great work from Dr. Zoë Harcombe. The dietary (low-)fat guidelines had no evidence base when they were introduced 40 years ago – and they still don’t. There’s really no good scientific reason to fear natural fats. It’s about time we question everything we thought we knew about fat in general, and saturated fat in particular:

Great presentation by Dr. Harcombe. When she speaks, I listen, as there's a lot of care and preparation that go into her presentations. Here's another of my favorites with much valuable information, humor, and relevancy to the above link:

It annoys me when people say things like "science failed us."

No, it didn't. Dr. Harcombe is doing it right, that's all.
