-The hypothesis that saturated fat has a detrimental effect on human health gained prominence in the 1950s as a result of the work of [[Ancel Keys]], a US [[Nutritional science|nutritional scientist]].<ref name="Teicholz2014">{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303678404579533760760481486|title=The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease|last1=Teicholz|first1=Nina|date=6 May 2014|publisher=[[The Wall Street Journal]]|accessdate=9 May 2015}}</ref> At that time in the USA, the incidence of heart disease was rapidly increasing, for reasons that were not clear.<ref name="Teicholz2014"/> Keys postulated a correlation between [[Lipoproteins|circulating cholesterol]] levels and [[cardiovascular disease]], and initiated a study of Minnesota businessmen (the first [[prospective study]] of CVD).<ref name="Keys1963">{{cite journal|last1=Keys|first1=Ancel|last2=Taylor|first2=Henry Longstreet|last3=Blackburn|first3=Henry|last4=Brozek|first4=Josef|last5=Anderson|first5=Joseph T.|last6=Simonson|first6=Ernst|date=1 September 1963|title=Coronary Heart Disease among Minnesota Business and Professional Men Followed Fifteen Years|url=https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1161/circ.28.3.381|journal=[[Circulation (journal)|Circulation]]|volume=28|issue=3|pages=381–95|doi=10.1161/01.cir.28.3.381|pmid=14059458|via=|doi-access=free}}</ref>

-==Reviews==
-A 2017 review by the American Heart Association recommended that decreasing saturated fat intake and increasing consumption of [[monounsaturated fat]]s and polyunsaturated fats could lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases by about 30%.<ref name="aha2017" />
-A 2020 review found that reducing saturated fat intake for at least two years reduced cardiovascular [[risk factor]]s, mainly by replacing saturated fat with sources of [[polyunsaturated fat]] or [[carbohydrate]]s.<ref name=":0" />
