Hi Izabela,

Saturated fat is having a moment.

Keto and carnivore diet advocates claim it's been unfairly demonized. Social media influencers are telling you to eat more butter. Prominent political leaders are saying it’s time to “end the war on saturated fat.”

Meanwhile, the American Heart Association, World Health Organization, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Diabetes Association, American Cancer Society, and American Medical Association are all saying that limiting saturated fat reduces your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Could they all be wrong?

Yours for separating truth from falsehood,

P.S. Not all saturated fats are the same. It turns out that the saturated fat in bacon affects your body very differently from the saturated fat in a coconut chia pudding. And what you replace it with matters just as much. Here’s what you need to know about saturated fat.
