I get my science from real scientific journals,
not 60 Minutes. There are few dietary causes of
disease that are as well-established as the link
between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular
disease. You have been hoodwinked by nutritional
charlatans.

Monounsaturated fats are the least harmful fats,
and saturated fats are the worst. Among saturated
fats, coconut oil is the worst -- even worse than
beef fat and lard.
