Who thinks any oil is healthy is what I want to know?
here.. removing all oil from your diet is less healthy than including some. Transfat should definitely be avoided, saturated fat being bad has been a result from research done in the sixties. By choosing 20 countries and comparing % of hart diseases.
Its critics pointed out that the result would be different by choosing other countries, which were not included in the research. Later research has indeed been financed by the *sugar industry. And confirmed the initial theory.
Yet in 2010 all most all of the researched results were combined debunking the theory that saturated fat was causing heart diseases. Like any research about food, this combined paper, using almost all of the test results so far, still bringing up doubts.
So it's fair to say: We do not know yet. But it is less evident to cause hart diseases than we thought it to be.
However, with any type of food, it is wise to not consume too much of it, as then everything will be poison.
