Saturated fat can create quite a dietary dilemma. For most of your life, you’ve probably been told it’s unhealthy. That saturated fat clogs your arteries and leads to heart attacks.
On the other hand, type in the right Google search words, and you’ll find research-based articles that say that thinking is outdated and wrong.
A frequent claim: The idea that saturated fat is “bad” was based on bad science, and that, in reality, it’s perfectly healthy. So healthy, in fact, you don’t need to restrict it. (Some say you should even eat more of it.)
There’s also this: Foods that contain saturated fat often taste delicious.
You get the picture.
