Interesting guest post at Robb's site.

Here's the BLUF:
-Saturated fat has never been proved to make you sick. However, in combination with a high carb, high inflammation diet, it may exacerbate a bad thing. The key - with the atherogenic profile (high triglycerides, high LDL, low HDL) you are likely suffering from excessive systemic inflammation and too much of what are called "small dense" LDL. These LDL particles are easily oxidized, and are a likely element of lethal atherosclerosis.
-The ratio of omega 3 fats to omega 6 fats is significant, and while supplementation of long, branched chain omega 3s is important (fish oil is best) for those who consume too much omega 6 and too little grass fed animals/dairy, but eating better quality food is the best option.
-MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) are good! Read the post for their relatively short description of why.
