Weirdly, perhaps, the researchers conclude T1s need to reduce fats

apparently on the assumption that fat causes arteriosclerosis.

It is also worth noting that the _reporter_ said a lot more than the
researchers did, and tried to make us think the researchers were
saying it.

The reporter's title "....unhealthy switch to high-fat diet"
in my opinion was an intentionally dishonest attempt to create
a mind-set ready to hear "low-fat diet" whether it was there
or not.

I think it's telling that the reporter although seemingly trying
hard to promote a low-fat diet, was unable to come up with a quote
of any of the researchers actually saying that.

I thanked Sarah for starting the post. I'd like to repeat my thanks.
There is an issue here. We have a number of choices of how we might
respond to it. Intense curiosity could be one of them.

Maybe the reporter simply didn't understand the scientists.

I think it's usually unwise to seek more complicated explanations for
behaviour which can easily be explained by stupidity :-) Even clever
and well-educated people have their stupid moments.
