SATURATED FAT AND HEART DISEASE? REALLY?

This content has been removed.

That's still 1633 who joined. I wonder what the percentage of retention MFP in general has - probably very similar.

I have no idea what the MFP rate of retention is, however, your comment used that number to indicate membership in the group.

So there are 1633 people who joined the group. How many are active participants? Other than Joanne? Most of the discussion topics are her yelling with no responses.

I wouldn't have a clue. But she has seemed to generate interest from some and the people who are no longer active have left MFP in general and not just Joanne's group.

But that aside I actually have an interest in the topic she has posted and agree that sat fat has been unecessarily vilified over the past few decades and only now as science is catching up are we discovering the real culprits to increased heart disease risk.

When you spend half the day PMing members inviting them to join for years..... 1633 is pretty poor.

She generates interest from those looking for something to blame for their weight gain. There was someone who posted on there asking why she hadn't lost any weight after cutting out sugar for several weeks. Not sure if that post is still there or got nuked, but it was amusing watching them try to dance around the question.

I don't have a problem with the topic. As I said, I shared this article weeks ago, as did several other members in various topics. We just probably didn't generate the interest because we weren't screaming in the subject line or have a history of dietary alarmism.
