Sat Fat Summary of the Issues

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/02/25/saturated-fat-is-not-the-cause-of-heart-disease.aspx
This is a great summary of the issues, but of course, not completely accurate. For one thing, the study he cites was a survey of a collection of observational studies, which of course cannot prove causation one way or the other (see this post on the actual study:  http://fireofthegodsfitness.blogspot.com/2010/02/meta-analysis-considering-impact-of-fat.html).
My biggest gripe with the doc's post is he pumps REAL food, but then includes whole grains which are only REAL food if you happen to be a bird!  Dump the wheat and you lose nothing you need, and many things you don't need.
