Gesättigte Fettsäuren, aktueller Stand?

Have often heard and several studies have seen the refutations have standing the saturated fatty acids in any connection with heart problems etc.

These studies were funded by the US meat industry. This is about how Marlboro would finance a study on the health risks of smoking. Neutrality=Fehlanzeige.

Another study, which can result in saturated fatty acids not being unhealthy, is unfortunately also not meaningful. I speak of the international PURE study (Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology). In this study, the nutritional habits and the health status of 135,000 people were recorded and examined over 7 years. The result: people who have eaten large quantities of saturated fatty acids daily died a little less frequently than people who have eaten many carbohydrates.

The explanation: People who could afford to buy dairy products and meat were compared with people who could afford only rice and cheap finished products. In addition, carbohydrates were not differentiated. Whether complex carbohydrates, or candy, junk food, etc. did not interest. The group that consumed saturated fatty acids daily were people with greater prosperity, which could also afford to eat high-quality fruit, vegetables and whole grain cereals.

A completely different picture was found in laboratory tests. The unhealthy effect of saturated fatty acids on the heart, vessels and brain could be clearly demonstrated. Clinical studies show that a diet with low-saturated fatty acids reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, breast cancer and some cancers.

It is advisable to greatly reduce saturated fatty acids. Meat and, in particular, sausages are generally to be discarded. There is nothing to be used against occasional organic butter, as well as organic dairy products, best of alpine or pasture animals.
