You are required to write a review paper to be submitted to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

You need to review the available information about controversial topic of great importance in chronic diseases: the association between fat consumption (particularly saturated fats) on cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
The current hypothesis that fat consumption increases the risk of CVD was initially defined in the 1950’s. For your review, the initial point is the following graph (from Keys 1953, attached).

A subsequent paper by Yerushalmy and Hilleboe in 1957 (also attached) identified several methodological issues about this study. Over time, the quality of studies improved. The most recent meta-analysis was published in March 2014 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24723079). So, in your review you will need to take into account the level of evidence of the papers you retrieved.
The main items of your review will be: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. For your review you need to complete at least 12 references (excluding the attached ones). The structure of your review (in terms of sections, references style, length, etc) will be those specified by the Journal. Word counting will not be considered, but scientific writing should be straight and clear. Verbosity will be penalised.
Although performing a meta-analysis is not required for this assignment, this example may help you in your review:
