http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/ajcn.2009.27725v1 Am J Clin Nutr (January 13, 2010). doi:10.3945/ajcn.2009.27725 Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease1,2,3,4,5 Patty W Siri-Tarino, Qi Sun, Frank B Hu and Ronald M Krauss Conclusions: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD.

Not at all; a recent study found that saturated fat in the diet reduced circulating saturated fat in the bloodstream. Drug companies want you eating wheat and sugar.
