  But the article concerned heart disease, not weight, and saturated fat, not sugar. So there isn't much to suggest that removing sugar is not a good thing, and that removing saturated fat is not also a good thing. And perhaps our digestive and circulatory system evolved remarkably well to keep us running decades past our reproductive years mostly regardless of meal composition.

    It's a correlative study. It's not as if they did a randomized clinical trial and fed sat fats with no sugar to a group of humans for 40 years. There are so many confounding variables when it comes to nutrition, all studies should be taken with a grain of salt (not too much, you don't want to overdo your sodium intake).

When I'm asked about nutrition tips removing sugar is the first thing I suggest. Not matter if we're talking about losing weight, gaining weight, building muscle or simply eating healthy.
