Saturated Fats and Health: A Reassessment and Proposal for Food-based Recommendations: JACC State-of -the-Art Review

The recommendation to limit dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake has persisted despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Most recent meta-analyses of randomized trials and observational studies found no beneficial effects of reducing SFA intake on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality, and instead found protective effects against stroke. Although SFAs increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, in most individuals, this is not due to increasing levels of small, dense LDL particles, but rather larger LDL which are much less strongly related to CVD risk. It is also apparent that the health effects of foods cannot be predicted by their content in any nutrient group, without considering the overall macronutrient distribution. Whole-fat dairy, unprocessed meat, eggs and dark chocolate are SFA-rich foods with a complex matrix that are not associated with increased risk of CVD. The totality of available evidence does not support further limiting the intake of such foods.

This study has been getting more press than the usual on the subject of saturated fats....while the Dietary Guidelines committee draft reduces the % of fat even further. https://www.nutritioncoalition.us/n...n-weak-evidence

Good references and links from you both. We're living in a time when the individual has the responsibility to sort through the BS we've been exposed to for many years. There really are no authoritative sources like what the DGA could be to cite recent studies and understanding of nutrition and cholesterol and its components' roles in human health. I listened to Doctor Radio during a recent drive up and back from New England, and I detected some progress with one show discussing metabolic syndrome; yet, they were reluctant to vindicate SFA and still exhibited the knee-jerk reaction to limit dietary SFA despite recent studies showing that high blood cholesterol and its components primarily come from carbohydrate consumption in a SAD. This is a reflex recommendation that we will continue to hear for a while. The brainwashing over the past 60 years has worked very well.
