How reliable is the statistical evidence for limiting saturated fat intake?
Here's a new re-analysis by Simon Thornley, Grant Schofield, Caryn Zinn and George Henderson of another meta-analysis commonly cited as evidence for reducing saturated fat intake. It turns out that when you crunch the numbers differently and account for publication bias, there is no association between saturated fat consumption and CVD risk after all:

Thanks, Grav. Add this to a building group of studies and clinical findings pointing in the direction of saturated fat as an innocent victim of being identified as a negative influence on CVD. Restrictions have been relaxed somewhat recently, so I expect exoneration to be the end result over time despite some foot dragging, but in our future nonetheless.

Well stated by Malcolm. In this information age, we either become informed skeptics or suffer the perils of blind acceptance, and this applies to much of the information we encounter today presented under the guise of "science" and majority opinion. An excellent BS detector is required.
