I believe that the study referred to is the "fat vs. heart attack" study released this week:

But then the data has been around a LONG time:

The Swiss who consume high fat diets have the lowest heart disease rate of the countries tested.

And Dr. Stephanie Seneff, who I have quoted here before, is researching cholestrol and believes that it is vital for health in humans. She has numerous YouTubes also.

The death knells are ringing more loudly and more quickly for statins, than I predicted. Once Crestor goes generic we will see more negative studies on statins.

As it turns out --it was the trans fats all along causing heart disease, which was also not a secret, but it took decades to teach the public about THEM, and finally they are being removed from foods. Fast foods were filled with huge amounts of trans fats, and the fast food makers are still removing them.
