Am J Clin Nutr (January 13, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.27725

Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association
of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease1,2,3,4,5
Patty W Siri-Tarino, Qi Sun, Frank B Hu and Ronald M Krauss


Conclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed
that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary
saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More
data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be
influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.

Sounds good, but I wonder who paid for the study.

I would think that all those drug companies would want to see a
