    Nice link cheers, good ol' Uffe Ravnskov, he's been banging that drum for a while.

    Unfortunately people like this that point out the bleeding obvious tend to be immediately labelled a member of the lunatic fringe. It's a well written article but one written by a nobody - scientifically speaking.

    We need heavy hitters that are the lead in their field to start saying this for anyone who matters to listen. But unfortunately a lot of the people at the top have investing huge amounts of time and reputation in the diet-heart hypothesis, for them to turn around and contradict most of their careers would make them look very stupid indeed, and reputation matters for getting grants which allow them to fund their research.

    I hate to be pessimistic but I get the feeling that we are going to have to wait another 20 years for these people to retire for anyone at the 'top' to start writing letters like that.
