From the American Study:
“the evidence of dietary saturated fats increasing CAD (coronary artery disease) or causing premature death was weak”
“Several recent analyses indicate that SFAs (saturated fatty acids) …. can improve health”
“The replacement of saturated fats in the diet with carbohydrates, especially sugars, has resulted in increased obesity and its associated health complications”
“The focus on dietary manipulation of serum cholesterol may be moot in view of numerous other factors that increase the risk of heart disease”
“The adverse health effects that have been associated with saturated fats in the past are most likely due to factors other than SFAs”
“This review calls for a rational reevaluation of existing dietary recommendations that focus on minimizing dietary SFAs, for which mechanisms for adverse health effects are lacking”

As Cyndi Omeara says, I wonder what the heart foundation will have to say about this. For her report on Cholesterol and fats CLICK HERE
