IIRC the original study that showed that fat is bad didn't use fat on  
their test animals. It used cooking oil. Wonder what these "reearchers"  
used?

Calling fat "lipid" does make make me confident that this is anything  
other than a despairing ploy of the low fat campaign.

People have eaten fat and fresh fruit/raw veg in the same meal for at  
least thousands of years.
Cancer was supposedly very rare until recently.
Therefore the conclusion of this study appears to be crap.
