I am curious what studies have linked sugar and fructose to heart disease over fat + cholesterol.

I did find this Harvard study: http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Heart_Lett...

However, it seems to be that it is the breakdown of high fructose (not the type found in fruit) which leads to the creation of fats that is not good for the heart.

List lovingly stolen from https://www.facebook.com/PerfectBalanceHealth give him a follow if you are interested in this stuff. He's very very thorough with his research, much more scientific than me. Some would say obsessive.

Thanks, the conclusions of these articles seems to be that there is not conclusive evidence that high fat diets are linked to heart disease.

Well if we're honest you can cherry pick your research can't you and how you interpret the results. Can you in return point to me a study that shows increasing carbohydrate and reducing fat decreases heart disease? I'd suggest in modern research such findings don't exist.
