#4Not too much and not too little, seems to be the way to go. But, given the amount of previous research about harmful effects of fat, it's hard to tell whether this is just an outlier. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if "High-fat diet could kill you, major study shows" has appeared in headlines more than once.
"Loosening the restriction on total fat and saturated fat and imposing limits on carbohydrates when high to reduce intake to moderate levels would be optimal."
Emphasis mine. What...?

Dietary fat has been shown to be healthy over and over again. There's nothing controversial about saying dietary fat is good for you; it is established science at this point.
I believe what the quote was trying to say about saturated fat is that they feel it is less dangerous than carbohydrates and sugars, and while the UK food industry has been busy trying to reduce the amount of saturated fat, they've sometimes been replacing them with sugar/carbohydrate ingredients which could be even worse for your health.
It is frankly disappointing that even thirty years later, many people still believe that dietary fat is unhealthy.

I'm assuming "when high" refers to carbohydrate intake.
Though really, the sentence works regardless /s.

#9Sigh. I mean, they're right, but they're also still missing the concept of "What kind of fat?". Different kinds of fats effect you differently. This has been known for a long time.
One my favorite blog posts summarizing some research on this point, on Butter vs Margarine, is 8 years old now, and it still hasn't penetrated the mainstream.
