Leave this here if you wanna learn more about the woman behind this story. She's not completely unbiased herself and is funded by a Houston billionaire. Her name is Nina Teicholz.

She still might be correct. And the association between saturated fats and heart disease does seem to be moderated by other factors. For example, cheese, butter, and yogurt seem to have more benefits than harm, even with their high saturated fat content. But again, this is based on limited studies.

Also, fiber seems to be a moderator as well. So a high psyllium diet will moderate the effects of saturated fat.

And this is from the WHO, 2022.

Our findings strongly reinforce the guidance that, when replacement energy is required, it should be provided by PUFA, plant sources of MUFA and slowly digested carbohydrates. Thus, dietary fats should come largely from seeds, nuts or liquid vegetable oil (olive, canola) rather than hydrogenated vegetable fats or land animal fats and coconut oil.

Overall though, there are no questions as to whether unsaturated fats are bad for you (they're not). And the environmental impact of eating saturated animal fats can't be denied. It would be better for the world if we reduced meat consumption and the use of animal products.
