The "down" on saturated fats in this section are not warranted. Saturated fats in the diet make up a critically important component for overall health, including brain health, which is made up of a lot of saturated fats. I would urge the reader to do some more research on saturated fats in the diet, as the information contained here is not the most recent or up to date on the subject. Why is it, that despite the reduction in so called unhealthy saturated fats in the western diet, we're actually getting fatter? We ate far more dietary fat in the decades before the 70's lower fat health craze but we're getting fatter and more unhealthy not healthier !! My comment will probably be deleted as this forum appears to be censored and accepts current orthodoxies only.
