Natural saturated fat may not be bad for you.

Hydrogenated saturated fat contains trans fats, which are
bad for you.

Your own body manufactures natural saturated fat.

But the processes that do that don't produce trans fats,
because they don't have the structure to do so.

Hydrogenation heats up fat and bubbles hydrogen through it,
creating a random soup of results, which includes things
your body could never create.

So natural saturated fat may not be bad for you.

The trick is making sure that's the only kind you eat.
