Revisiting the diet-heart hypothesis: critical appraisal of the Minnesota Coronary Experiment.

Abstract:: Several articles have concluded that associations between high cholesterol and premature death are lacking and advocate for revision of current guidance advising low consumption (<10%) of saturated fat. Ramsden and colleagues recovered 45 year old data from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, a randomised controlled trial conducted in state mental hospitals and nursing homes in Minnesota, USA, and reassessed the effect of a diet rich in linoleic acid on serum cholesterol and mortality. The authors found that the diet lowered total cholesterol but did not reduce the risk of premature mortality and might even have increased it.
