"According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by lipid scientist Ronald Krauss, M.D., and his colleagues, "there is insufficient evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies to conclude that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD [coronary heart disease], stroke, or CVD [cardiovascular disease]." No one has ever proved a link between saturated fat and clogged arteries,As a result, the case against saturated fats has largely crumbled. Yes, consumption of saturated fat does raise LDLbut mainly the benign forms. The supposed role of these fats in heart disease has been debunked."
