For more than half a century, Americans have been urged to shy away from saturated fats, found mainly in animal products. We have been told to cook with canola oil instead of butter, select skim instead of whole milk, and to fill our plates with pasta instead of steak.
Paradoxically, decades of adherence to this advice has coincided with rising levels of chronic disease. As people cut more saturated fat from their diets, the nation grew heavier and sicker — not healthier.
Put plainly, the war on saturated fat, rooted in the hypothesis that it causes heart disease, has never been based on sound science. In fact, a large and growing body of evidence reveals that saturated fats aren’t a menace but a key part of a healthy diet. And they should be recognized as such in national nutrition policy.
Fortunately, this long-overdue change now appears likely to happen next month. The federal government will soon release the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans — the nutritional blueprint that shapes everything from school lunches to hospital meals.

My father is skinny, my mother is not. They are 93 and 92. I’ll take my chances.

Myself I focus more on eliminating omega 6 fatty acids (vegetable oils).
Bring back lard. It has a better ratio of Omega 3 vs Omega 6, thereby reducing inflammation.
I like sardines as long as they’re not salted.
Thanks for the reminder, may have a can on a shelf somewhere.
Beef tallow is easy to make.
That don’t allow cattle at my apartment complex.
