Saturated Fat Not Linked to Heart Disease: Study

A recent study on healthy adults suggests that dietary saturated fat is not linked to cardiovascular disease or stroke.

Those who consumed the most saturated fat were less likely to develop heart disease than their peers who eat less.

Further studies are needed to determine if heart disease risks are possibly influenced by nutrients used to replace saturated fat.
