    Default Limit on Saturated Fats is Unnecessary, says “State-of-the-Art Review” in Journal of American Colleg

    A re-evaluation of the science on saturated fats has been happening since 2010, with now nearly 20 review papers coming to virtually the same conclusion, namely that saturated fats have no effect on cardiovascular or total mortality.

    I believe the real threats to peoples health to be a lack of regular exercise and a diet composed of mostly high sugar, nutrient deficient, processed foods.

    It makes sense to me that if you eat foods closer to their natural state, to include cheese and meat (high in saturated fat), but eat in moderation and maintain a healthy weight, you will be fine.

    There are different types of saturated fats. Lauric acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid etc. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...OC_TITLE_HDR_5
    They have different characteristics and different health impacts and it is retarded to make generalizing statements like "saturated fats are like this and that".
    Animal fats contain decent amount of palmitic acid. Palmitic acid can be bad, because it makes one's insulin resistance worse in case he eats high amount of refined carbohydrates. If you're on a low carb diet palmitic acid isn't bad.
    Coconut oil is saturated fat but unlike animal fats, it contains very low amount of palmitic acid.
    Bill Lands is a lipid researcher and he said he doesn't know about a mechanism that make saturated fats unhealthy as opposed to unsaturated fats.

    Omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is another thing to consider (they are unsaturated fats though). Animal fats can contain decent amount of omega 6, which is bad, but they still have less omega 6 than vegetable oils on avarage. If the animal was free ranging and grass fed then its meat will be low in omega 6. Coconut oil is also good when it comes to omega6 (because it barely contains any). Dairy fats have good omega 3:6 ratio too, regardless of whether the animal was grass fed or not (but they're high in palmitic acid like other animal fats)

    Yep, regular non fanatical exercising and 2 or 3 non-bloative meals a day with low salt and sugar, moderate amounts of saturated fats, should prevent overstressing the human body's inner workings.

    Salt being "a major health hazard" is another myth. It's just used as a space goat. Sugar, flour (and other refined carbs), omega6, trans fats etc are far more dangerous.

    Too much salt raises blood pressure, so, just enough to prevent food from being tasteless is wisest.
