There is no evidence that it causes heart disease: "Collectively, neither observational studies, prospective epidemiologic cohort studies, RCTs, systematic reviews and meta analyses have conclusively established a significant association between SFA in the diet and subsequent cardiovascular risk and CAD, MI or mortality nor a benefit of reducing dietary SFAs on CVD rick, events and mortality. Beneficial effects of replacement of SFA by polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat or carbohydrates remain elusive. " See study: https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/eurjpc/zwac194/6691821?login=false https://academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance-article-abstract/doi... The point is. There are certain diseases much more prevelant now than in these tribal cultures. Why is that? Less exposure to parasites, food, movement, exposure to chemicals?

The best evidence we have now is that sugar consumption is a far worse risk factor for heart disease than saturated fat. The amount of saturated fat in your bloodstream has little relation to the amount you eat. https://peterattiamd.com/donlayman/ https://peterattiamd.com/donlayman/

A US president succumbed to smoking induced heart attacks but the tobacco industry can't be the culprit right? Nah, it must have been a human staple that humans consumed for thousands of years. We should instead eat food that was only readily available for 300 years and only that.
