New evidence shows that saturated fat intake has only a very limited impact on Cardiovascular Disease risk -- causing many to rethink the "saturated fat is bad" paradigm ( via eurekalert).
This probably partly explains the French Paradox, that French people suffer a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats.
This in turn causes me to wonder why cheese is so much more expensive in North America than in Europe. I suspect that it is due to low demand caused somewhat by the propaganda that we have been hearing for over 30 years that saturated fat is a major culprit of cardiovascular disease.
