The Claim
Reducing saturated fat intake for at least two years probably has little or no effect on all-cause mortality or cardiovascular mortality in adults in industrialized countries.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you eat less saturated fat for two years or more, it probably won’t make you live longer or stop you from dying of heart disease — at least not in countries with lots of food and healthcare.
