Geek out on nutrition at Cron-O-Meter (Target Saturated Fat <5g and Fiber >60g)

Speaking of science, do you think such a low daily intake of saturated fat is healthy in the long term?

The important lesson here is that a single analysis is not sufficient to find a definitive answer. Every result is a temporary truth, one that’s subject to change when someone else comes along to build, test and analyze anew.

Science welcome to the philosophical subfield of epistemology.

Speaking of science, do you think such a low daily intake of saturated fat is healthy in the long term?

Yes: low sat fat is directly deterministic of ldl and total cholesterol. Coronary artery desase has an absolute dependency upon Ldl>80 total>150.

Longitudinal studies don't have the power to show this, however, because a the determination of cholesterol is against a genetically determined (and random) baseline. So some folks can eat 15 grams and have the same cholesterol as those who eat 5 grams.
