Colin, I agree about fat not being as harmful as was previously thought, but just a point about olive oil - in fact, soybean, peanut, palm oil and coconut oil are higher in saturated fat than olive oil Palm oil, at 50 per cent saturated fat, is even worse than lard or beef tallow, which I only realized a few weeks ago, when I read an article in the Guardian saying to avoid American-style peanut butter (which I love) because it's mixed with palm oil. I suppose this is why vegetarian soaps are often made with it.

Loved your sentence: "Mianky because thy also have lower crab in their diets." ;-)

The combuination of sugar and fat is harmful. Fat on it's own is not harmful. Fat includes Olive oil(which by the way has the HIGHEST percentage, anout 14%, of saturated fat than any other oil). There are many societeis that have high fat diest and they do not suffer the rates of heart disease the some other societies do. Mianky because thy also have lower crab in their diets. Painting fat as the abddy is no longer scientifically correct.
