I understand you reasoning. As there are _numerous_ metabolic ways saturated fats have been found to be harmful it is very likely that the overall effect is also detrimental.

You haven't yet cited a single one that's well controlled for variables. Your assertion is, therefore, unethical and a lie.

In addition, there is the epidemiological evidence and
many feeding studies.

See above. In the Framingham nurse's study, the highest fat eaters had the least CVD and breast cancer; the highest starch eaters had the most. Some researchers spun it the other way.


However, I am willing to admit that there is an possibility that for some subgroups increasing saturated fats _might_ be beneficial, e.g. some elderly people, as high serum cholesterol is protecting in very old age.


You have yet to cite a single credible study finding a causative role for saturated fat in any health risk.
