Here's a great example of how science can be wrong.
Whilst looking to reinforce the long term villification of saturated fat Bikman designed a study to show that satruated fat causes diabetes.
In this video he shows how he was completely wrong.

It ought to be noted that the original experiment that "showed" that saturated fat was bad for you was an experiement with rabbits.
Rabbit were fed lots of fat, and no surprise they suffered high mortality.
But rabbits only eat grass normally, and only trace amounts of fat.
Despite this ridiculous experiement these findings led to the villification of fat for generations os badly designed dietary advice..

True. Trans fats are really good for you. So is smoking--the more per day the better. Chain smoking is ideal. As for alcohol, at least 5 litres per day is the absolute minimum you should be drinking--and the higher the alcohol content the better. Methylated spirits should be your drink of choice--drunk straight from the bottle, to wash down the cup of health-giving refined white sugar you just ate.

no, trans-fats are really proteins dressing up to look like fats

Is cholesterol bad?

In conclusion, already from age 65 onwards, a difference in commonly available biomarkers was observed between individuals who eventually became centenarians and those who did not. Higher levels of total cholesterol and iron and lower levels of glucose, creatinine, uric acid, ASAT, GGT, ALP, TIBC, and LD were associated with a greater likelihood of becoming a centenarian.
