Abstract

The effects of saturated fat on cardiovascular health have been studied for more than half a century. While simple public health messages have been to avoid and/or limit their intake, the underlying research is more complex. It is apparent that the effects of saturated fat on health are dependent both on the presence of other nutrients as well as the associated dietary pattern.
