“Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke, nor was it associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).” Those folks consuming the highest amount of saturated fat were statistically identical to those consuming the least amount when it came to the probability of CHD, stroke, or CVD. Even when the researchers factored in age, sex, and study quality, it didn’t change the results. Saturated fat did bupkis—it didn’t increase or decrease risk in any meaningful way. Period.
