Meta-Analysis Finds No Evidence that Saturated Fat Promotes Cardiovascular Disease

Thanks to Stephan for bringing this to my attention:

Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease Am J Clin Nutr (January 13, 2010)

"Conclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat."

As Stephan said, anyone who reviewed the evidence honestly (as Stephan did here) would come to this conclusion. Finally the lipid researchers themselves see the writing on the wall.
