But if you look at those links you'll find plenty of peer reviewd scientific references supporting this view. Not trying to convince you though just adding my 2 cents.

even if a "clear causal" link has not been establish, there is a preponderance of statistical correlation between elevated cholesterol and CVH to make a wise person ignore it at their peril. That is like saying there is no clear causal link between smoking and cancer.

There is also a preponderance of statistical correlation between police being present at crime scenes, that doesn't mean they cause crime.
For smoking a very clear causal relationship has been established so not the same.

Come on, IMHO some of those articles are classic examples of disservice to anyone reading them and specially for people like us here at CEM.

Jesus Christ, look at that title: "More Saturated Fat = Less Coronary Artery Disease!" .

Like I said: not trying to convince you just adding a different point of view. If you agree: great, if you don't: great also.

As for the article you are referring to, you're entitled to your opinion, but IMO it's silly to make up your mind based on a title.
A title which is, I might add, practically word for word the same as the conclusion of the researchers themselves.

Now you must be kidding right? Are you saying that I didn't read the article?IMO it's a waste of time that kind of conversation, hope you've been involved in research enough time to sustain you statements with plausible ideas based in real word as well.

And by the way, keep on consuming high saturated fats, I'm sure you'll be doing fine in the next 20 years.

Also, it's not a good ideia trying to extrapolate that kind of data from females subjects to males, specially for people like some of us who are involved with serious strength training, high competitive sports, and with peformance enhancement substances.

No I didn't say you didn't read the article, I implied that you made up your mind based on the title, because you said:

Jesus Christ, look at that title: "More Saturated Fat = Less Coronary Artery Disease!"

What exactly isn't real world about clinical studies?

I will and we'll see in 20 years I guess

Don't worry, I'm not. There are many more references supporting the view that animal fat doesn't cause atherosclerosis.
The only reason we're only talking about this one article is because you had some beef with the title, to which I responded.

Do you really think that someone who writes things like "...next time you hear some misguided fanatic wailing on about the evils of saturated fat, run--straight to the nearest tub of butter!" should be taken serious?

Seems that consuming butter is great for overall health, huh?

We need long term studies (aka: longitudinal and cohort).

That kind of study in which patients who presently have a certain condition and/or receive a particular treatment are followed over time and compared with another group who are not affected by the condition under investigation.
