The journal Annals of Internal Medicine recently published a paper suggesting there is no evidence supporting the longstanding recommendation to limit saturated fat consumption. Media reporting on the paper included headlines such as “No link found between saturated fat and heart disease” and articles saying “Saturated fat shouldn’t be demonized” springing up on social media.
However, Walter Willett, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, warns that the conclusions are seriously misleading, as the analysis contains major errors and omissions.

. . . or did you believe this to be the fake news thread?

Point is... scientific studies are just that. Studies. At one point racers in the TDF would smoke while riding believing that it helped expand their lungs because scientific studies showed that. I just don't trust everything the scientific community says is fact.
Those same people knew, by consensus, the world was like a table, and if you sailed too far, you would be pitched like a cork, into an abyss of sea monsters and cyclonic, water storms of death.
Experts are only experts as long as everyone believes in them.
A Greek mathematician measured the radius of the earth in a simple way in about 200 BC. A Muslim scientist improved the measurement in the 10th Century.
Religious zealots held the world to be flat, and the center of the universe, and punished those who spoke or wrote in opposition.

Really? So that's why you posted:

Are you really that ignorant or you just like to pretend a lot? Have you even read the latest studies regarding fat intake?
It seems you trust the studies enough to call me ignorant for having not read them. It seems you may have been duped by fake news and now won't admit it.
Why do you put it in so early?
Mine wont go in till 11:00 this morning.
Dinner at midnight, plus scraps and eggs or breakfast.

So Christmas dinner is served the second the clock actually turns to the 25th? Just can't wait eh? Like Aff . . . eeerrr ah, B-earcrap . . . I mean Bernie it's about to go in. Woke up and rubbed it real good, it looks good enough to eat right now! Got me some good prepared horseradish (not the creamy stuff) from the new Jensen's (pricey, but quality stuff) up the street where Fresh & Easy use to be.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
To those who are afraid of Christmas tough it out, it's a traditional Holiday and only one day a year . . . you'll live through it, hopefully.
My wife's family (9 siblings) honored the Christmas Eve gift reveal. My family (6 siblings) waited until after breakfast, which at that time of year meant oatmeal, bacon, and eggs. We compromised on dinner at midnight, stockings on wake-up, no gifts unwrapped until after breakfast. I don't insist on the oatmeal for breakfast tradition, but that's what I call it.

One "selected" gift (don't want 'em to open up the big one first!) on the eve then when everyone is awake tear 'em open (in a civil manner of course), then breakfast, then mimosas, then start cooking . . . then the now traditional back patio fire with various adult beverages. I started that tradition when the kids started getting to the age where "assembly" was required and I, and various friends from the hood, needed to 'relax' after all the madness! Leftovers, sweets, beers and booze, what could be better?
This is the first year since we had our own kids (started 1990) that we are away for Christmas - up north where it is easier on those who have jobs to go to every day. I have my traditional Christmas cold, I came from behind to win Scrabble last night, and one son has become a chess player - go figure.

I'm undefeated when in comes family Scrabble . . . I give no quarter!
Mine are learning the real game - at the end of the game last night my daughter was boasting about not being challenged over BOCA, and there was a long debate about whether to challenge my TANSY. I won by emptying my rack first and then collecting points from the other players.

Just days before Christmas, unprecedented warmth was recorded at the North Pole.
A buoy that sits nearly 90 miles south of the location registered a temperature of 31 degrees. Although still below freezing, the temperature is about 50 degrees higher than normal.
There were two major players in unusually high temperature. The first was a large and very strong low pressure system north of Greenland. The counterclockwise flow around this system pushed abnormally warm and moist air toward the pole. The second is the lack of sea ice in the Arctic, particularly in the Barents Sea.
A recent study published by the journal Nature said these events usually happen once or twice a decade, dating back to the 1950s. Although it's too soon to say if they are happening more frequently, 2016 is the second year in a row temperatures climbed to astonishing levels in the Arctic.
