"Expert Science Consensus" Wrong for 50 years... New Guideline issued...

T J · Feb 25, 2015

There has been a huge change in the new guidelines regarding dietary cholesterol.

A good lesson in why Scientific Method is focused on challenging claims against the real world evidence.

It doesn't matter that the Organizational Dogma has been against this new guideline for 50 years.

What matters is the real world evidence didn't support the "expert consensus", because the "consensus" was wrong.

Same with CO2 Theory's CAGW claims, experiment

As Richard Feynman, perhaps the greatest physicist since Einstein put it in his Cornell lecture:

"...compare the computation results with nature, or we say compare it with experiment or experience.
Compare it directly with observations, to see if it works."[/I]"If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong!. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn't make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn't make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is. If it disagrees with experiment - It's Wrong! That's all there is to it."

Cholesterol in food not a concern, new report says[/B]

"Cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption."

Inside the advisory report

Sure enough, there it is, buried on page 91 of the 572-page Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee: "Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 mg/day. The 2015 DGAC will not bring forward this recommendation because available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum (blood) cholesterol, consistent with the AHA/ACC (American Heart Association / American College of Cardiology) report. Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption."

What has foodies buzzing is that this is somewhat of a tectonic shift regarding one of the main nutritional designations of the foods we eat. Cholesterol has been a prominent part of dietary warnings and guidelines since the American Heart Association put the compound in its crosshairs more than half a century ago.

Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, told CNN: "The idea we need to limit saturated fat and cholesterol shifted Americans from a well-balanced diet to high-sugar diets, which made people eat more and get fatter."

The reality, according to Nissen, is that only 15% of circulating cholesterol in the blood comes from what you eat. The other 85% comes from the liver. "So if you go on a diet," he says, "you're not changing your cholesterol very much." Still, nutritionists are not recommending you go out and binge on cheeseburgers and fries.

A lot is riding on this decision. Foods that are high in cholesterol, like eggs, shrimp and lobster, could see a major uptick in sales. These foods, perhaps limited inside -- or banished from -- your home, could make a big comeback.
