"Saturated fats are not accepted to be healthy by the scientific community..."
Why? Because this is plain wrong.
Here some links that are worth checking out on this subject:
Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease:

- rb2k_ 11y agoI am not an expert in this field (nutritional epi + cardiovascular disease). Luckily, my significant other is (which is there the quote came from). Her answer: "The first article shows no association of saturated fats with cardiovascular disease. No association does not mean healthy." and "Substituting polyunsaturated fats for saturated fats has been shown to lower ldl and is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease. This comes from both robust randomized controlled trial evidence, and data from prospective cohort studies" I think the whole idea is that people agree that unsaturated fats do have health benefits. There is no clear evidence that saturated fats do. They might not actively cause harm, but they also don't have comparable benefits to health.
