dc.description.abstractThe relationship between saturated fats and cholesterol in foods, and blood cholesterol levels and cardiac pathology, is the most serious current controversy in nutritional science. It is not only confusing doctors but also undermining the credibility of medical science among the general public. Generations of doctors that since the 1950s had been led to believe that too much dietary saturated fats and cholesterol was linked to increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, are now expected to accept claims that this was all a fable based on bad science. This must be one of the most serious U-turns in medical science. How could this have happened?en_GB
