nope, i mean good quality saturated fat. Your body needs it for functioning and it is very good for you - it is not the reason the arteries get clogged. Ever heard how the Eskimos eat blubber? Before they were introduced to modern day diets they had almost no heart disease. or diabetes for that matter... that's just one of many examples.

Ummm - how about NO. Saturated fat is the one way to guarantee that plaque will build up on your artery walls. That would explain why Mediterraneans (who eat lots of omega 3 fats - the unsaturated ones) live long, and cardiovascularly healthy lives and Americans, who eat TONS of saturated fats are dropping like flies of heart disease at very young ages. Can you convince me otherwise? I think not. It's called the scientific method and it's a pretty effective way to "prove" a theory.

Saturated fat hangs on in the arteries and will just build up causing stress on the heart. Clogged arteries cause heart attacks. It is the lard, the fat that is so bad for your heart. Good fats, like canola oil, olive oil and so forth are good. I know it isn't wrong, there is nothing nutrional or healthy about saturated fat, our bodies were not equipped to process it. It would be great to find out it was a myth! We all would be pigging out on greasy high fat foods then!

Just the opposite. Non-saturated fats ( vegetable based ) are better for your health than saturated fats ( animal fats ). Omega-3's are the best fats for the health conscious, but ALL fats need to comprise only 20% of your overall diet.
I'm willing to consider that anything I've heard is wrong - I can only base my opinons on how these things make me feel and how they affect my own weight and metabolism. I think the "experts" are on target with trhis information.

Sorry, but the experts are not wrong. They based their facts on autopsies done on people who had a saturated fat diet. Their insides are a mess.

Well there is only one way to find out.... Eat lots and lots of saturated fat and see if you have a heart attack. J/K!! They could possibly be wrong but I highly doubt it.
