Keep spreading the Good Word, full wonderful saturated FATS impart great taste and does wonders for your HEALTH and figure. Lucky for me I get to teach this concept often at work and I get looks like I’ve just grown horns out of my head. Anyway- I really like the meta analysis review it lends a lot more authority for those of us who work in medicine.

I just got back my first cholesterol test after a year of tripling my intake of grass-fed meat, raw goat dairy, and using solid animal fats in cooking. The result? Total cholesterol went up from 157 to 165 (a trivial amount) and my “good” cholesterol went up 10 points (nearly 20%)! No harm there, methinks.

Thanks for the response Kristen. I agree that it being a meta-analysis is a lot more convincing than just one study.

Katie -- The great thing about this "study" is that it isn't one. It's a review of previously published studies. Other groups have done similar reviews and come to similar conclusions, but the glory of this review is that it was done by a mainstream lipid researcher. If he can now say that there's no evidence linking dietary intake of saturated fat to heart disease (without any fear of doing his career injury), then I think it's safe to say the tide in scientific thought is finally turning.

Kristen,
The results of this study didn’t really make a difference to my personal diet – I’ll enjoy my butter and farm-fresh milk no matter what! However, I was a little concerned that the National Dairy Council financially backed the study. Do you think the results are valid, given the Council’s involvement? I am not really sure what the implications of this study would be for them, but I am highly suspicious of *anything* they are behind. They have worked so hard to make it very difficult for many to get raw milk, and as a traditional foodist, I just don’t trust them.
