A Medical Breakthrough
…new recommendations regarding dietary fat from “what’s new Family Medicine” section.
Fat intake and coronary risk (April 2014)Although it is known that there is a continuous graded relationship between serum cholesterol concentration and coronary heart disease (CHD), and that dietary intake of saturated fat raises total serum cholesterol, a 2014 meta-analysis of prospective observational studies found no association between intake of saturated fat and risk for CHD [7]. The meta-analysis also found no relationship between monounsaturated fat intake and CHD, but suggested a reduction in CHD with higher intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats; a benefit with omega-6 polyunsaturated fats remains uncertain. Given these results, we no longer suggest avoiding saturated fats per se, although many foods high in saturated fats are less healthy than foods containing lower levels. In particular, we no longer feel there is substantial evidence for choosing dairy products based on low fat content (such as choosing skim milk in preference to higher fat milk). We continue to advise reducing intake of trans fatty acids. (See “Dietary fat”, section on ‘Saturated fatty acids’.)
Better late than never.
Republican Crony Capitalism
…in Michigan. This is shameful, but Snyder probably did stand a good chance of losing his reelection if he hadn’t supported it.
Fighting The Left’s Fire With FIRE
Instapundit has some ideas for dealing with the war on college men:
You could add some street-theater when prospective freshmen tour the campus by putting up posters and passing out leaflets telling them that the campus is a “rights-free zone” for men or some such, too. And maybe demand that the admissions people warn admitted men that they won’t have due process, and then making a big stink when they won’t.
Yes, time to take back the campuses. Make all those administrators earn their money.
A New Space Race
A fictional one, from Fox. We’ll see how realistic it is.
#GamerGate
It’s just the latest example of the Left’s Kulturkampf. Fortunately, this time, it seems to be a fail.
Hispanics Converting To Islam
Sorry, but I think these people are fools. When I see a women in a hijab, I don’t “respect them first.” I pity them.

What Sam Harris gets wrong about Islam.
I would note that I’d bet a lot of money that the people shooting up Ottawa right now aren’t Lutherans.
