Saturated fat is not the major issue" Aseem challenges the conventional belief linking saturated fat intake directly to heart disease, suggesting that the relationship is more complex. 

"It is time to stop counting calories, and time instead to promote dietary changes that substantially and rapidly reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality": Published in “Open Heart” in 2015, this editorial emphasizes the importance of food quality over calorie counting in reducing heart disease risk. 

"The cholesterol and calorie hypotheses are both dead — it is time to focus on the real culprit: insulin resistance": This 2017 article in ‘The Pharmaceutical Journal’ argues that insulin resistance, rather than cholesterol levels or calorie intake alone, plays a central role in heart disease.
