Proc Nutr Soc. 2005 Nov;64(4):543-53. Micronutrients: dietary intake v. supplement use. Woodside JV, McCall D, McGartland C, Young IS. "A number of studies have combined a low-fat diet with increased fruit, vegetable and whole-grain consumption. Recent observational evidence from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Ageing (Tucker et al. 2005) indicates that, over an average 18 years follow-up, the men who consumed the combination of five or more servings of fruit and vegetables per d and £12% energy from saturated fat are 31% less likely to die from any cause (P<0.05) and 76% less likely to die from CHD (P<0.001). This combination of high fruit and vegetable and low saturated fat intakes was found to be more protective than either of the interventions alone. This work is backed up by a controlled feeding study in healthy volunteers (Gardner et al. 2005) that has shown that a 4-week low-fat diet intervention that also incorporates markedly more vegetables, legumes and whole grains (therefore likely to increase micronutrient status), enhances the lipid-lowering effect of a typical low-fat diet." Permit me to repeat: ...consumed the combination of five or more servings of fruit and vegetables per day and 12% energy from saturated fat are 31% less likely to die from any cause and 76% less likely to die from CHD, This combination of high fruit AND vegetable and LOW saturated fat intakes was found to be more protective than either of the interventions alone.

JAMA. 2003 Aug 20;290(7):912-20. Effect of a high-fat ketogenic diet on plasma levels of lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins in children. RESULTS: At 6 months, the high-fat ketogenic diet significantly increased the mean plasma levels of total (58 mg/dL [1.50 mmol/L]), LDL (50 mg/dL [1.30mmol/L]), VLDL (8 mg/dL [0.21 mmol/L]), and non-HDL cholesterol (63 mg/dL [1.63 mmol/L]) (P<.001 vs baseline for each); triglycerides (58 mg/dL [0.66 mmol/L]) (P<.001); and total apoB (49 mg/dL) (P<.001). Mean HDL cholesterol decreased significantly (P<.001), although apoA-I increased (4 mg/dL) (P =.23). Significant but less marked changes persisted in children observed after 12 and 24 months. CONCLUSIONS: A high-fat ketogenic diet produced significant increases in the atherogenic apoB-containing lipoproteins and a decrease in the antiatherogenic HDL cholesterol. Further studies are necessary to determine if such a diet adversely affects endothelial vascular function and promotes inflammation and formation of atherosclerotic lesions. REP{EAT: A high-fat ketogenic diet produced significant increases in the atherogenic apoB-containing lipoproteins and a decrease in the antiatherogenic HDL cholesterol.

Go see a cardiologist and ask him if you can eat a 4 oz piece of meat once per week and remain healthy. Go ahead, what are you afraid of What are you.....CHICKEN! bwahahahaha
