unsaturated fats from whole avacados, olive oil and coconut oil, sure. But I think the jury is still very much out on a whole class of oils originally meant for industrial lubrication that we started pushing into the american diet. As far as the american heart association being trustworthy, they are very much bought and paid for right back to their founding from a large grant to promote crisco.
Besides that, I'm wary of the saturated fats claim being true given that most of the studies were done on middle aged white men on a standard american diet. it didn't account for excessive calories and high levels of sugar in the diet. We've been eating animal products for thousands of years (inuits eating it exclusively) with little to no issues. Why would these suddenly now be a problem?
