I checked the link to the study (which I didn't realize was shared from the Revisionist History site), and I was incorrect about the scale:

Setting

One nursing home and six state mental hospitals in Minnesota, United States.

Participants

Unpublished documents with completed analyses for the randomized cohort of 9423 women and men aged 20-97; longitudinal data on serum cholesterol for the 2355 participants exposed to the study diets for a year or more; 149 completed autopsy files.

It's certainly worth a closer look.
