He was on an interview saying, if the science started to show fat/sat fat wasn’t bad he’d be the first to admit. God damn liar.
Try this.
If you scroll down or follow the hyperlinks there are numerous studies used to show that the conection between high protein animal sourced protein and disease isn’t so clear.
I like what Paul Chek said a while back. Anyone dispensing dietary advice should be made to do it in a thong.
I always smack my hand against my face when articles say something like: “Showed an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.” and then leave the reader to find the actual statistic on their own.
What if it turns out to be a 3% difference? I’d rather not spend a chunk of my life worrying about reducing my risk for [insert scary sounding thing here] by 1%.

What’s even more worrisome is how they will often use relative risk rather than absolute.
So, to use your # for example. The media and even the studies themselves will use relative. That small 3% increase can be spun by using relative risk measures and claim a 50% increase.
Drug companies are notorious for this.
