I wonder if you have done any research on the benefits of saturated fats eaten in healthy grass-fed red meats and raw dairy products. There is a monumental amount of research which proves how dangerous consumption of commercially and industrially produced meats and raw dairy products can be. Most of what is available on the commercial markets are these types of products, and thus, the general public is consistently eating these altered foods. I'm an advocate for gaining fats and proteins through a regular diet of healthy, naturally produced animal products, which are becoming more and more prevalent and much more known about in the public eye due to the growing amount of educational information available on the subject. If you are interested, please visit my web site, www.agriculturesociety.com for my articles on meat (http://agriculturesociety.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/whats-the-problem-with-meat/) and dairy (http://agriculturesociety.wordpress.com/2008/03/10/why-the-consumption-of-milk-is-harmful-to-your-health/) and the health benefits. Both of these articles have been published in Healthy Beginnings Magazine (www.hbmag.com).

Saturated fat is the dominant fat in meat, chicken and whole milk dairy products. It raises cholesterol only when a person takes in more calories than he burns. A high-meat diet does not cause heart attacks in people who get a lot of exercise. Saturated fats are broken down by your body into two-carbon units. If you are getting too many calories, your liver converts these two-carbon units into cholesterol. If you are not getting enough calories, your body burns these units for energy.
When you take in more calories than your body needs, you store the excess as fat. Full fat cells release cytokines into your bloodstream, and they turn on your immunity. Your immunity is good because it protects you from infection, but if it stays overactive, it starts to destroy your body including your heart and blood vessels. The bottom line: if you eat much saturated fat, be sure to get plenty of exercise.
