"The caveat over trans-fats is, of course, well founded. But why they still take the low-saturated fat line is beyond me since it is polyunsaturated fats that have been shown to be causative in metabolic syndrome. I can only suppose that, because trans fats were used as an artificial substitutes for saturated fats in the days before saturated fats were found to be beneficial, the two types of fat are still classed together, despite being quite different as far as heart health is concerned.
In a nutshell, trans fats are harmful; while saturated fats are beneficial. However, since this study is a small step in the right direction â lowering carbs and increasing fats, I suppose it is too much to ask that the go the whole hog in one step. If they did that, they would be admitting they had been wrong before.

Conclusions: This is the first study to examine the effects of low fat vs. moderate fat diet in MetS. MF
compared to LF diet improves the atherogenic dyslipidemia of MetS. MF diet is a preferable dietary
intervention in people with MetS to improve CVD risk.

The trend now is looking at some saturated fat in diet as very good and healthy. Change take a long time because the science say before, NO SATURATED FAT. So this is what most people (and scientist) think is true BEFORE.
Change in peoples mind take a long time.
