Randomized controlled trials show LDL consistently drops with lower saturated fat intake, and randomized controlled trials show LDL strongly correlated with coronary risk. It’s one of the best-established causal relationships in nutrition science.

The American Heart Association’s narrative is based in observed clinical relationship between saturated fat intake, LDL, and coronary events.
