saw this just got published. very interesting finding that saturated fat had an inverse correlation to stroke. I believe some may have a predisposition to metabolize carbohydrates more efficiently due to genetic variants like apo-e, apob deficiencies etc, and higher than normal insulin sensitivity, but it seems fats are the choice energy source for promoting longevity. Couple these findings with some of the recent publications in BMJ showing high insulin levels and insulin resistane as greater predictors for cardiovascular disease than lipids and you have a pretty strong argument.
