DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE: The more saturated fat that people are eating the lower their stroke rate. The less saturated fat they're eating the higher the risk of stroke.

The more saturated fat that people are eating the lower their stroke rate.  The less saturated fat they're eating the higher the risk of stroke.  And so this goes completely counter to the idea that fat is bad for us, and, in fact, there is a number of studies looking at LDL cholesterol finding the exact same thing.  They found an inverse correlation, the Framingham study found an inverse correlation.  That's one of the seminal pieces in Cardiology in the cholesterol theory of heart disease.  And in fact, it found the exact opposite of what it was reported to have found, and there are number of other studies that support that as well.  But if you just think down to . . . if you get down to brass tacks and first principles.
