SHORT ANSWER? NO!

Saturated fats and Health:

The recommendation to limit dietary saturated fatty acid intake has persisted despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. Most recent meta-analysis of randomized trials and observation studies found no beneficial effects of reducing SFA intake on cardiovascular disease and total mortality, and instead found protective effects against stroke.

Yes, protective effects. 🙌🏻

A recent study published in the American Journal of clinical nutrition reports no association between unprocessed red meat and poultry intake & the risk of early death, heart disease, cancer or stroke.

This is a large scale perspective cohort study with a more diverse population and broad patterns of diet then previously reported studies. It includes information from 134,297 people from 21 countries spanning 5 continents. 🌎

🥛🥩🧀Whole fat dairy, unprocessed meat, and dark chocolate are saturated fatty acid rich foods with a complex matrix that are not associated with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease. They totality of available evidence does not support further limiting the intake of such foods. 💯👏🏻
