So I've been baffled by the saturated fat debate for quite a few days now.

• Based on the current mainstream science, it seems to me that saturated fat is a significant health risk factor, which plateaus almost immediately after a certain amount of consumption is reached (about 10% of daily calorie intake).

• Now I don't recall the keto related studies showing this at all, despite saturated intake being quite high by default. The diet usually isn't just about eating food with lots of mono-saturated fat (e.g. fish and avocados) and most proponents are eating fatty meats and/or dairy en masse.

• I've been wondering if there really is no difference between Greek yogurt, bacon and ultra processed frozen pizza (or whatever abomination of a modern food stuff one can think of). Surely, "saturated fat is a saturated fat" is a gross oversimplification and there must be more to it; right?

Well today, I finally run into this: "The authors state that associations between saturated fat and health may depend on food-specific fatty acids or other nutrient constituents in addition to saturated fat. Taken together with our findings, it appears that the role of saturated fat in health may differ on the basis of the source and type of saturated fat consumed rather than on the total amount."

What is your take on this subject? Are you personally limiting your saturated fat intake as suggested or only avoid food that has other known/suspected harmful effects (such as processed red meat)?
