They had me right until the end, with the quote from Timothy Noakes, who is not a cardiologist, and makes plenty of data-unsupported mistakes in his own writing, e.g. about barefoot running. It's like having Malcolm Gladwell back up your research findings.

Was this piece supposed to be science or it is entertainment-journalism? The latter, I think. (I.e. it is not the abstract of any particular research study.)

I'm not saying the anti-anti-saturated fat recommendation is wrong. I'm saying this piece is just another opinion, which adds nothing to my understanding. Obviously the vast majority of educated and well-intentioned physicians disagree with their recommendation.
