This is the second time Iâ??ve address the obfuscation surrounding saturated fat. Itâ??s actually part of an industry-wide scheme. Check out:
â?¢ The Saturated Fat Studies: Set Up to Fail (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...)
â?¢ The Saturated Fat Studies: Buttering Up the Public (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-...)

It reminds me of my series on cheese:
â?¢ Is Cheese Really Bad for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-ch...)
â?¢ Is Cheese Healthy? Compared to What? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-ch...)
â?¢ How the Dairy Industry Designs Misleading Studies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-t...)

What about plant-based sources of saturated fat? See Coconut Oil and the Boost in HDL â??Goodâ? Cholesterol (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/topics/...) and What About Coconuts, Coconut Milk, and Coconut Oil MCTs? (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/topics/...).
