Fat finds favor on U.S. tables again

Sorry… Another article I saw.
My favorite quote:
'The most recent version of the federal guidelines, 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, did remove a previous limit on total fat, as well as cholesterol. But they still recommend a limit on saturated fat to 10 percent of calories per day. That’s despite ongoing science showing weak links between heart disease and diets high in fat. For example, a 2014 scientific review in the Annals of Internal Medicine determined: “Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats.” ’
