Sir, – Dr Neville Wilson’s letter (October 19th) about saturated fats is a voice in the wilderness of confusion and misunderstanding of the difference between healthy and harmful fats.
A whole industry has grown up around this error, which is not only hugely profitable but scientifically wrong.
The war against saturated fats and cholesterol and the misguided campaign to put just about everyone on statins, even when studies clearly show that there is no benefit to people who have no history of cardiovascular disease, will some day be recognised by the medical establishment as one of its greatest errors. The sooner the better. – Yours, etc,
