I forwarded the above to Loren. He replied:

You can go to my website: www.thepaleodiet.com under FAQ and read about the
molecular basis on how saturated fats promote atherosclerosis by down
regulating the LDL receptor.  The nobel prize in medicine was awarded to
Brown and Goldstein for this discovery.  Apparently Ravnskov is unaware of
this information.  Atherosclerosis is routinely induced in primate models
by feeding increased saturated fat.  Also, high saturated fat feeding in
humans increases plaque formation as measured by Doppler evaluation of the
carotid artery.

Loren Cordain, Ph.D.
