Those thought on Sat fats are my "opinion" and what has worked for ME and my preferences.
I like to get my fats from the oils mentioned above.
My extended thoughts; "Minimize" Sat Fats in the form of Sausages, Lunch meat, and Hot Dogs. In other words HIGHLY REFINED meats.
Coconut oil is beneficial due to the medium chain tryclycerides (MCT's) and the liver's ability to digest them rapidly.
Butter, Is a great way to add flavor to vegtables and other great foods. It is not highly refined, So i like it.
I just try to Minimize Sat fats and get my protein from sources like Chicken and Fish. Do I eat bacon and ribs? Yes Ocassionally. It is nice to be able to eat SAT FATS and not have to worry about them.
There is a lot of scientific data proving that there is no DIRECT correlation between dietary fats and serum cholesterol.

There is nothing wrong with SAT FATS on a carb restricted diet.
