Saturated fat - good for you????

And according to this study it looks like there (so far) is very little proof that saturated fat or total fat can be linked to heart disease.

The study says that they found (by reviewing the literature)

Insufficient evidence (2 criteria) of association is present for intake of supplementary vitamin E and ascorbic acid (vitamin C); saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids; total fat; -linolenic acid; meat; eggs; and milk.

On the other had they also suggest
That there were stronger links to suggest a connection between transfat and high GI/GL carbohydrates and heart disease.

If this is true. Isn't it interesting? All we every hear is how bad saturated fat is but in reality the proof of it is not really there.
(Gary Taubes was writing about this in Good calories, Bad calories too)
