So there are there are all sorts of problems in terms of our our sort of paradigm today in terms of how we look at things. And there's this who funds it and why would it get done, right? Let's just look at the Finnish mental health mental hospital stud study. So this is um this is pretty commonly included in meta analyses 1959 to 1971 676 subjects control diet which is often the saturated fat-rich diet versus the experimental diet. Uh it was carried out in two mental hospitals near Helsinki. One of the hospitals received a cholesterol-lowering diet, a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol relatively high in polyaturated fats from soybean oil. The other was served as a control with a normal hospital diet after 6 years diets were reversed. Now the use of the cholesterol-lowering diet was associated with significantly reduced mortality from coronary heart disease. Okay. Now there was significantly more trans fat in the control diets. The hospital K had 2% trans fat in the control diet versus zero in the experimental group and the hospital N had6% trans fat versus >> 02. There were minor differences in baseline characteristics such as age, BMI, smoking and blood pressure between the two groups and there was a cardiotoxic medication thyoritazine which we don't use anymore um that was more commonly given to people in the control group. So there was inadequate randomization also between the two things. So you can see how how like obuscated these trials are like how could you say what's going on? You're giving a control group in um hospital K
