There are a lot of people, including myself, that disagree that saturated fats are unhealthy. If you read a book like

The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet [1]

there is a lot of evidence to the contrary. There is a whole school of thought that polyunsaturated fats are the bad ones, while saturated or monounsaturated are good.

I'm eating a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diet, also known as keto (ketosis) diet, where I eat many saturated fats.
