The 2016 article published in BMJ titled:
"Re-evaluation in the traditional diet-heart hypothesis: analysis of recovered data from Minnesota Coronary Experiment (1968-73)" analyses data from one of the largest interventional trials that was done to validate the hypothesis that saturated fat causes heart disease and omega-6 rich seed oils are protective.
The study not only found that "There was no evidence of benefit in the intervention [low saturated fat, high omega-6 fat] group for coronary atherosclerosis or myocardial infarcts", but also noted "There was a 22% higher risk of death for each 30mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) reduction in serum cholesterol".
