Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The studies into the effects of saturated fat continues - a report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology reports that just one meal high in saturated fat can prevent good cholesterol from protecting against clogged arteries.
The study in carried out in Australia asked 14 people aged 18-40 to eat two meals of carrot cake and a milkshake one month apart. One meal is high in saturated fat from coconut oil and the other high in polyunsaturated fat from safflower oil. They found that just three hours after eating the cake and shake the arteries failed to expand to increase the blood flow. After 6 hours they noted a reduction in the anti-inflammatory qualities of the good cholesterol.
While a meal high in polyunsaturated fat seemed to improve the anti-inflammatory quantities not all polyunsaturated fats play a healthy role. Some in corn oil can even promote cancer and polyunsaturated fat treated at high temperature for a long time can also be poor to ones health.

I've written an article on my web site criticizing the recent study on saturated fat by Nicholls et al., showing how they overlooked an alternative hypothesis that can explain their data and is substantiated by the scientific literature, and critically reviewing the coverage it has received in the press:
