Nobody could have predicted

Dietary Saturated Fat Has Undeserved Bad Reputation, Says Review
"The meager effect that saturated fats have on serum cholesterol levels when modest but adequate amounts of polyunsaturated oils are included in the diet, and the lack of any clear evidence that saturated fats are promoting any of the conditions that can be attributed to PUFA, makes one wonder how saturated fats got such a bad reputation in the health literature," Lawrence writes in the review.
Seriously?   That's just blatant ass covering.  The history of that opinion was published in the NY Times over a decade ago by Gary Taubes.
It was the American Heart Association.  (by cardiologists-for cardiologists)   It was their idea.  They decided before they had any evidence.   They've been pushing the idea for fifty years.  And they refuse to let it go.
