[Meta] Moderation Policy for Niche Communities

Back in 2011, Denmark passed a law taxing foods high in saturated fat. The tax was apparently effective in reducing saturated fat intake among Danish consumers, which reportedly dropped by about 4% during the time it was in place.

That's intense

TLDR Summary

  • There is no convincing evidence that replacing saturated fat with PUFA reduces risk.
  • Saturated fat is found in many healthy foods

This article builds on https://www.dietdoctor.com/researchers-challenge-who-draft-recommendations-on-saturated-fat-restriction

Which brings up these points

  • Foods containing saturated fats are very diverse
  • Unconvincing evidence that reducing saturated fat decreases heart disease risk
  • Reliance on LDL cholesterol values to determine risk
  • Many nutritious foods are high in saturated fat

TLDR for the TLDR - Chasing lower LDL numbers does not translate into better health in isolation.
