Excellent review of current data. Diet studies are so difficult to draw conclusions since they are flawed by subjects’ ability to accurately and honestly recall what they have eaten. Epidemiology data fares little better due to so many possible confounding factors. However many Asian and SE Asian countries with high intakes of coconut and palm oil have higher rates of heart disease. I think balance is an important goal. I too have increased my fat intake and lowered that of carbohydrates.
