I did say SMALL quanitities of saturates, and that means SMALL.
I think it is generally accepted that large quantities of saturates are bad news.
BUT there is an ongoing debate on the bodies needs for SMALL quantities.
Artificial trans fats are generally regarded as bad, and the suggestion seems to be the body simply does not recognise them and so dumps them where it can which is bad news for general health.
In the generality fats are solid or partially solid due to saturation, and many margerines are made by artificially saturating fats - trans fats - so please do check them out carefully to make sure you are getting what you think.
At least you have some idea what a grass fed cow has been up to, and CLA a product of herbivore fat is reported as benificial - at a level of diary making one percent of diet (I would guess that is carbs and not weight !).
The subject is complex and you will find well argued divergent opinions on what is the best option if you need a scrape on your toast.
