Stephan (Whole Health Source) interviewed

Stephan is one of the top researchers and writers in this little corner of the internet.....

An interview with him has just been published which provides a great summary of his ideas:

Researchers followed volunteers for twenty years, and found that the amount of butter they ate had no relation to their risk of having a heart attack. On the other hand, people who ate the most margarine had nearly twice the risk of having a heart attack as people who ate none. Saturated fat is a red herring that has been overemphasized largely for historical reasons. One fat that is clearly important is omega-3. It's found mostly in seafood, flax, green vegetables, and fats from pasture-raised animals. It's critical to have a regular source of omega-3 in the diet.

I eat lots of bars of butter and I can give account that I haven't suffered any symptom of heart attack in the last few years.
