But the best-established facts on dietary fats say otherwise. How well polyunsaturated vegetable oils hold up health-wise when matched against saturated fats like butter, beef fat, lard and even coconut oil depends on the quality, size and length of the studies and what foods are eaten when fewer saturated fats are consumed.


There's a saying about fast, cheap or good, choose two. The long studies with large cohorts tend to be low in quality, if it's not epidemiology, by nature uncontrolled, then it's interventions that are large and unwieldy and prohibitively expensive to properly control.

I'm actually not that convinced that polyunsaturated fats are all that bad either, I mostly eat animal source fats because they taste better.
