If you simply up your fat (of any kind) without compensating in other ways then it will undoubtedly cause you problems. If you do it right and lower your carbs when you up your fat then I don't see there is much of an issue except with trans fats. I've come to the opinion that the argument between which is better between poly unsaturated and saturated fats is minor compared to the damage you do to yourself by eating highly sugared and highly processed carbohydrates or even just eating a high starchy carb regime. In many ways the argument over which fats are safe seems to be missing that far bigger problem.I can only speak from experience. On the standard 5 a day cook from fresh high carb diet low fat diet I ate for 20 years before diagnosis it led me to a cholesterol level of 8 which reduced to 5.5 with the help of statins by the time I was diagnosed. Swapping to a low carb but high fat diet has reduced my cholesterol to below 4 without the need of statins in less than a year and I've lost the 4 stone I had put on over the last 20 years.</blockquote>
