The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
10 years later my representation was or my interpretation was that study wasn't long enough to see a difference cholesterol at the time they did measure total cholesterol levels they didn't fractionate cholesterol at the time so they couldn't measure LDL or HDL or anything like that

and the majority of that 30 milligrams per deciliter was probably LDL cholesterol
this was this predated the subf fractionation so they weren't measuring LDL and HDL they were just measuring total cholesterol and at the time there was some correlation between cardiovascular disease and total cholesterol levels at the extremes that was certainly true again because I didn't think we'd be talking about this I don't have the numbers all in my mind but we'll link to it all but directionally I believe that the higher Pua group relative to the saturated fat group was about 30 milligrams per deiler lower in total cholesterol
