Nowadays there are ethical reasons why such trial can not be done. It would
be unethical to put any patient on a saturated fat diet as it is considered
to be atherogenic based on a large body of evidence.

Sometimes we discover that what we knew to be true was wrong. A number of
well-established medical/surgical procedures have been abandoned because
randomized trials showed them to be worthless or worse.

But I agree that the current mindset (and evidence) would make a sat-fat
randomized trial difficult. I just wonder about the hundreds of millions of
people who avoid sat fat to improve their health. Suppose they are making it
worse? Surely letting that possibly go on is unethical also?
