Saturated vs Trans Fats - Which is healthier?

What does the data say about saturated fat and all cause mortality, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes?

What are saturated fats?

Butter, tallow, dairy, coconut, and fatty meat are a few examples of saturated fats.

An analysis of cohort studies was analyzed in 2015.

Their findings indicated there were no associations with saturated fat intake and all cause mortality, heart disease, or type 2 diabetes.

Meaning: saturated fat couldn't be linked to poor health outcomes.

Trans Fats:

Trans fats were associated with all cause mortality (that's bad).

Artificial trans fat is created during hydrogenation, which converts liquid vegetable oils into semi-solid partially hydrogenated oil. This is another indicator that vegetable oils lead to disease while saturated fats (typically animal fats and coconut) are vindicated.
