The researchers cautioned that they didn't study the impacts of the diets on cardiovascular diseases and note in the paper that the consumption of vegetable oils could be beneficial for cardiac health, even if it also induces obesity and diabetes.
They also noted that there are many different types of saturated and unsaturated fats. This is particularly true for the saturated fats in animal products that were associated with heart disease in the studies in the 1960s: they tend to have a longer chain length than the saturated fats in coconut oil.

Uh, no. Vegetable oils cannot be beneficial for cardiac health while at the same time inducing obesity and diabetes. It just doesn't work that way. Sounds to me like researchers having to tip-toe around trying not to step on the toes of powerful guys (who control sources of their research funding maybe?) who still buy into those worthless cherry-picked association claims from the 60's about saturated fat being the bad guy in heart disease.
