/R E P E A T -- IS SATURATED FAT REALLY HARMFUL FOR THE HEART? IN MONTREAL, A<br>DANISH SCIENTIST DISCUSSES THE LATEST RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC/

MONTREAL, Nov. 30 /CNW Telbec/ - For over three decades, saturated fat has been accused of significantly contributing to the development of heart disease. However, more and more studies suggest this theory to be false.  Here is a topic that shakes many fixed ideas and sparks great interest within the international community of healthcare and nutrition professionals. And, taking into consideration that, for the average Canadian, saturated fat represents on average a third of the total amount of fat, and that 26% of the population has a much higher level of total fat than what is considered healthy, this topic concerns a lot of people.

WHAT:	Dr. Arne Vernon Astrup, a distinguished Danish scientist, will be in Montreal to address this topic at the Nutrition and Health Symposium 2010 held by  Dairy Farmers of Canada.
WHERE:	Mount-Royal Centre 2200 Mansfield Street (Corner Sherbrooke West) Montreal
WHEN:	Thursday, December 2, 2010 10:45 AM to 11:30 AM (Dr. Astrup will be available for interviews immediately after his presentation)
