1 Dr. Jim Painter PhD, University of Texas, School of Public Health Four pillars of the prevention of heart disease 1. Reduce total dietary fat 2. Reduce dietary saturated fat 3. Reduce dietary cholesterol 4. Reduce sodium 5. Reduce weight, if over weight Which of these are true in practice only 5 Which are partially true 2 & 4

2 Dr. Ancel Keys influential, Seven Countries Study 1961 Keys persuaded AHA to release 1 st guidelines targeting saturated fat 1970 Congressional hearings on low-fat anti-saturated fat campaign; many scientists opposed it Why do we still have fat recommendations? Keys aggressively discredited opposition (sugar causes HD) Current health authorities are too embarrassed or too loyal Based on Key s research, drug companies created the most lucrative drug ever: statins Andrade, 2009 British physician Malcolm Kendrick used same data available to Keys and discovered that by choosing different countries you can prove an inverse Bowden, relationship J., & Sinatra, S.

3 The Seven Countries Study is the cornerstone of current cholesterol and fat recommendations and official government policies Keys had data available from 22 countries only used data from 7 countries that supported his hypothesis Bowden, J., & Sinatra, S. (2012). The Great Cholesterol Myth. Beverly, MA: Fair Winds Press. Removing total fat is generally harmful (doesn t lower CVD risk) Why Replaced with refined CHO and sugar 2010 Dietary Guidelines:... Dietary advice should put the emphasis on optimizing types of dietary fat and not reducing total fat. (DGAC Grade: Strong) The Snackwell Phenomenon Food companies rushed to create low-fat versions of all foods and market it as heart healthy Butter was replaced with margarine which is high in trans fat! Vegetable oils were aggressively promoted as a healthy alternative to saturated fat most vegetable oils are highly processed, pro-inflammatory, and easily damaged when reheated repeatedly Bowden, J., & Sinatra, S. (2012). The Great Cholesterol Myth. Beverly, MA: Fair Winds Press.

4 IOM, At 12 months: Low-carbohydrate diet: 42% calories from fat Showed overall -1.4% risk reduction in 10- year Framingham CHD risk score Low-fat diet: 30.8% calories from fat

5 2015 Dietary Guidelines: Relationship between Consumption of Total Fat and Risk of CVD:...these results suggest that simply reducing SFA or total fat in the diet by replacing it with any type of carbohydrates is not effective in reducing risk of CVD. But the panel left the 20%-35% guideline Mixed message 2015 Dietary Guidelines Expert Panel Chpt Heart Disease Risk Factors Perceptions- Total Dietary Fat Dietary Fat as a Major Contributor of Heart Disease 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% Dietary Fat as a Major Contributor of Heart Disease 20% 10% 0% Consumers (n=39) Students (n=40) Faculty (n=17) Are they really the villains everyone says?

8 In 1977 the USDA did not agree with the US Senate Committee position on saturated fat, the USDA said that there was no absolute scientific proof of the danger and risk posed by dietary fat and saturated fat. Steric acid (C18:0) should not be categorized as a cholesterolraising fatty acid, unlike lauric (C12:0), myristic ( C 14:0) and palmitic (C16:0) acids and industrially produced trans-fatty acids.

9 History of Cholesterol Dietary Guidelines Dietary Guidelines- 2015?

10 FDA Nutrition Label Guidelines- Instilled in 1990 FDA set recommended value at 300 mg to be consistent with the recommendations issued by the 1989 National Research Council s Report. Where did the Cholesterol Recommendations come from? Based on animal studies Studies did not take into account other risk factors Cholesterol Recommendations Studies provided excessive amounts of DC Brownawell, A. M., & Falk, M. (2010). Cholesterol: where science and public health policy intersect. Nutrition Reviews, 68(6), In 1912 Anichkov discovered that feeding cholesterol to rabbits led to atherosclerosis. * Rabbits are herbivores- metabolize cholesterol differently Konstantinov, I., Mejevoi, N., & Anichkov, N. (2006). Nikolai N. Anichkov and his theory of atherosclerosis. Texas Heart Institute Journal, 33(4),

11 Country/Region Dietary Fat Guidelines Dietary Cholesterol Guidelines Australia Limit saturated and total fat None Canada Limit saturated fat to <10% None In the 2000 the AHA states that there is no precise basis for selecting a target level for dietary cholesterol for all individuals but recommends 300 mg/day on average. European Union India Korea Limit saturated fat to <10% Limit saturated and total fat Limit saturated fat to <20% None None None New Zealand Limit saturated fat to <12% None United States Limit saturated and trans fat <300mg Fernandez, M.L., &Calle, M. Revisiting dietary cholesterol recommendations: does the evidence support a limit of 300 mg/d? Curr Atheroscler Rep Nov;12(6): Framingham Heart Study Written by nutritionist Jonny Bowden, Ph.D. and cardiologist Stephen Sinatra M.D. 16 yr study that began in 1948 and monitored heart disease in > 5000 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts Residents who developed heart disease and residents who did not, had NO differences in serum cholesterol ranges Clarifies the misinformation surrounding cholesterol Residents >48 yrs old with high cholesterol lived just as long as those with Low cholesterol Bowden, J., & Sinatra, S. (2012). The Great Cholesterol Myth. Beverly, MA: Fair Winds Press.
