The war against dietary fat is a good example of epidemiology gone wrong. The correlations in between dietary fat and heart disease is less strong than the correlations in between sucrose and heart disease. And since sucrose and dietary fat are often taken together in excess they should never have concluded it was the fault of dietary fat alone. In fact we have evidence now that sucrose is the culprit and dietary fat itself not even being an issue.
