In 1968, Ancel Keys & Ivan Frantz began a randomized control trial involving 9000+ people to study the effects of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils high in linoleic acid.
The study concluded in 1973, but the complete results remained unpublished during Keys' lifetime.
In 2013, the raw data was discovered at the estate of Ivan Frantz.
Analysis of the data showed that while replacing saturated fats with vegetable oils did reduce serum cholesterol by 14% on average, it did not reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease or other causes.
In fact, cardiovascular mortality increased when saturated fats were replaced. According to the paper, "There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol."

Excellent visual illustrating the absurdity of #France’s 🇫🇷 new abaya ban by @PeterHogness.
Bc no clear legal criteria exist for defining “abaya,” enforcement of this ban—which is seeing girls expelled from public schools every day—will necessarily pivot on racism.

@Inner_Bonding @Theholisticpsyc I’ve described myself as an outgoing introvert. I’m happy to initiate conversations and chat with people I don’t know. But I know my limits energy-wise and cherish my alone time.

@Theholisticpsyc Introverts, myself being one often can be misread as shy when in fact we’re not.
Often times we don’t even like attention.
And we take time to reflect before responding or jumping in. And we like it that way!
