Hi, fellow Indian paleohacker. Welcome to Samosa Club. Watch out for this guy named Aravind.
The question of "saturated fat: is it all that?" has been addressed a few times. Check it out...
Do we need dietary saturated fat?
What's up with saturated fat and the LDL receptor?
More on saturated fat and the lipid hypothesis
Where's the pro saturated fat evidence?
Kurt Harris addresses this issue a couple times on his website, basically saying that saturated fat is healthy, our ancestors may have preferentially eaten fatty bits, and even if not we should go for what's healthy and not necessarily recreating the paleolithic diet. I personally get about a third of my calories from overall fat, and a little under half of that from saturated. So a fairly moderate amount. No amount of evidence has ever convince me to attempt to eat more or less saturated fat than this moderate amount, but if someone writes a nice treatise, I am certainly open to change. :) #paleo
