NEW 2025 Meta-Analysis: RCTs Don’t Support Restricting Saturated Fat

Video Description

For decades, we've been told that saturated fat is harmful to heart health. But is it finally time to stop blaming butter and other sources of saturated fat for heart disease? In this video, we dive into a new 2025 meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reveals “the evidence available from RCTs does not support saturated fat restriction for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.” The study challenges long-standing beliefs about dietary fat and its role in heart health, sparking a crucial conversation about how we approach heart disease prevention and cholesterol management. We’ll explore the implications of this new evidence, discuss why there's still confusion around this issue, and offer practical insights on healthy fats, dietary guidelines, and cardiovascular health. Stay tuned for key takeaways from this meta-analysis and learn why saturated fat might not be the culprit we've been led to believe.
