Abstract in brief

  • The meta-analysis examined the relationship between foods high in saturated fats (like milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, meat, and processed meat) and the risk of mortality, using data from studies conducted between 1952 and 2012.
  • The findings suggest that high consumption of dairy products is not significantly linked to increased mortality risk, while high intake of meat and processed meat is associated with a higher risk, though results vary depending on population and food types.
  • The study highlights that differences in results may be due to factors beyond saturated fat content alone and emphasizes the need for improved research methods to better understand how specific food sources of saturated fats impact mortality, aiding in better dietary guidelines.]

@Gearoidmuar @NicolaiWorm @andrewmente Worse: it can even turn into a *negative* ('protective') association in Asian studies (https://t.co/No8T9FCtmn & https://t.co/BTwxGa98hw) PURE shows the same globally. Basically, we're just capturing health *beliefs* of the US upper middle classes (cf https://t.co/7Zxlc3x81u) https://t.co/KtE9BuQ7yG

@SentientBlobBob @sensemakr @CarnivoreSapien And how weird that saturated fat from dairy causes no harm. And sat fat, when consumed in Asia, causes better health. Location dependant harm from Sat fat? Andi guess it's magic when it's in liquid form.. https://t.co/5VQwdvlie0
