February 7, 2006 Study Finds Low-Fat Diet Won't Stop Cancer or Heart Disease By GINA KOLATA The largest study ever to ask whether a low-fat diet keeps women from getting cancer or heart disease has found that the diet had no effect.
Aside from the money spent, hello? We're all gonna die. My 80 year old mother gave up on a low-fat low-sodium diet 10 years ago, telling me she was sick to death of boiled and broiled chicken breasts and only steamed vegetables and she said, "I'm going to die but I'm going to eat what tastes good first, dammit!"
So she eats she-crab soup and fatty bacon and home fried potatoes. She's going to enjoy her food while she can. YAY! Go, Mom! We're all dying, in case you didn't notice 🙂

My great aunt made 115 Guinness book..oldest documented living American about 1989. Grandmother made it to 97 and mother still living on her own is 90. They all subscribed to a healthy diet of fat meat, and a good dose of laughter. It must work.

Most people who restrict sodium have absolutely no reason to do so. The diet correlated with long life is not low-fat, it's low-calorie and high-fiber.

The only truly bad fat is the artificially hydrogenated kind.
