CVD and links to saturated fats is a long, long established phenomenon and has a lot of science behind it. A single study or even studies should not invalidate or discount it. Before people misinterpret what this is saying.

Sugar may also contribute some to CVD but most cardiologists still think fats are the main driver of CVD.

Those studies however generally put beef and sausages into the same "red meat" category. So yeah... that science is, from what I've seen, basically worthless.

Every health authority mentions both cholesterol/saturated fat and blood sugar as contributing factors.
