And it was a randomized control trial for several years where they're looking at outcomes like heart attacks and whatnot, which is great.

Here's the downsides.

When they reanalyzed that data with more modern statistics, they found that – I mean really there was no difference.

But originally there was a claim that, OK, the polyunsaturated group was actually having more cardiac events than the other group.

But here's the weaknesses of the study.

One, this is back when hydrogenated oils and trans fats were very prevalent in the food supply and they – those were considered polyunsaturated fats and they were getting a lot of their polyunsaturated fats from that.

This wasn't from canola oil.

This wasn't from some of these other – this was from … Hydrogenated corn oil.

Literally probably some of the worst source of fat you can get.

Like you'll get no argument from me that trans fats are uniquely deleterious to health.

You'll get no argument there.

As bad, probably worse than saturated fat.

So that's one major weakness.

The other one is, yes, they were controlling their calories when they're inpatient, but these people were in and out of these facilities because they were psychiatric facilities.

So what did they do beforehand?

What did they do after?

What did they do in between?

It wasn't controlled.

And you also have to consider

Two years is a long time for a randomized control trial.
