article: Should Saturated Fat Have a Bad Rap?

http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/...b-fbcfd404e04f

excerpt:
The low-carb Atkins-style diet may not be the rage it once was, but its core
concept - that saturated fat is not necessarily bad for us and won't lead to
weight-gain - is gaining momentum in some research circles.

Gary Taubes' current best-seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, is making
waves with the assertion that there's no real evidence that saturated fat is
bad for us. The cover of the book shows a piece of toast with a pat of
butter on it, except that contrary to what what we've been told for decades,
Taubes claims it's the piece of bread that represents the "bad" calories,
while the butter is symbolic of the "good."

He's not alone.
