Show Me

In the spirit of Paleo eating, there is a lot of debate on the merits of a high-fat diet with regards to blood cholesterol and body fat. Most of the arguments against Paleo point to the "medical science" reports of high-fat diets leading to obesity and high cholesterol levels.

However, no one can point to a study that concludes that a high fat diet lead the person to being obese or having high cholesterol levels.

Show me a study where you have control groups. Show me a study where one group of participants ate a high-fat diet and no grains. Show me a study where one group of participants ate a high grain diet and no fats. Keep the protein levels virtually the same, for the sake of science. Folks, this is the scientific method. It is not too hard. Show me a study that has done this that concludes that a high fat diet is bad, and I will rethink my whole position.

Until then all you have is anecdotes, based on faux science. "Science" where no studies were done. "Science" which was funded by the grain industry and Big Pharma. And the plural of these anecdotes is not data.
