Calcium and vitamin D improve cholesterol in postmenopausal women Dietary advice to switch saturated fats to carbs or omega 6 fats is based on flawed data, a researcher has claimed. Diets low in saturated fat won’t curb heart disease risk or help you live longer, according to US scientist Dr DiNicolantonio. The doctor argues that carbohydrates are to blame for the surge in diabetes and obesity in America. He suggests that a low carb diet is better for weight loss and claims there is no conclusive proof that a low fat diet cuts cardiovascular risk. Senior Heart Health Dietitian, Victoria
