Heh now there is an understatement if I ever heard one.  I would use a
much stronger statement than that considering how absolutely absurd
the notion that such fats are good for you is.  Polyunsaturated fat
from refined liquid vegetable oils is probably the single most
destructive factor of the modern diet along with their hydrogenated
versions.  The lies spouted by Harvard are nothing less than CRIMINAL.
The lies stem from the influence of their corporate pay masters like
the edible oils industry and their cronies who infiltrate medical and
government health institutes and regulatory agencies to become top
policy making officials and have resulted in countless deaths and
suffering.  Anyone who thinks otherwise is just a fool.  The facts
simply do not support the outright lies Harvard spouts.  What is even
worse is that many of these facts are so plain and simple that it is
almost unbelievable how they get away with such things.

Do people not understand that these so called healthy polyunsaturated
vegetable oils DO NOT EXIST IN NATURE in the form and amounts we
consume them now and did not exist in the human diet at all until very
recently.  To claim they are good for us is INSANE.  From less than 1
pound per person per year in 1900 to over 30 pounds per person per
year today.  Consider also that heart disease, diabetes and most other
modern degenerative conditions were RARE 100 years ago.  The increase
of these toxic oils is a direct cause of the epidemic levels of
degenerative health conditions today.  Consider also that the so
called dangerous "artery clogging" saturated animal fats and tropical
oils(regarding their use in cooking) have gone from over 20 pounds per
person per year to almost 0 and butter has gone from 18 pounds to 4
pounds per person per year, replaced by hydrogenated vegetable
shortenings and margarine.  To ignore such definitive facts is beyond
unacceptable.  To condemn animal fats as dangerous and PROMOTE the
fake man made fats as healthy while knowing these simple undeniable
facts is either incompetence or deliberate criminality.  That is the
simple truth.

It is all summed up nicely in this great quote by the world renown Dr.
Paul Dudley White, a leading authority on heart disease as well as a
pioneer in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the
heart and circulatory system.  Personal physician to president Dwight
Eisenhower and founder of the AHA, serving as its president for 2
years.  Not too shabby.  Makes that hack Willet look like sh.t.

When confronting proponents of the flawed and dangerous low saturated
fat low cholesterol "prudent diet" he said:

"See here, I began my practice as a cardiologist in 1921 and I never
saw an myocardial infarction patent until 1928. Back in the MI free
days before 1920, the fats were butter and lard and I think that we
would all benefit from the kind of diet that we had at a time when no
one had ever heard the word corn oil."

Actually you displayed your ignorance with the statement you made
about the link provided by Gregory.  Weston Price is long dead and has
no "writings" in any of the articles from that link.  Most of the
information there is written by a highly regarded biochemist and lipid
researcher Mary Enig who was among the first scientists to bring the
dangers of trans fats into the mainstream.  I think she has some
authority on fats.  Certainly much more than your dumb a.s.  So why
dont you admit your remarks were either wrong and misleading or just
plain ignorant.  To calim it is an "idiots guide" is absurd and makes
you look like a fool.  She also is not a corrupt unethical industry
owned criminal like many of the so called scientists and researchers
at Harvard. It does not take a genius to decide who is credible and
who is not.  But it does take an "ignorant moron" to make the wrong
choice.

Dr. Mary G. Enig, a nutritionist/biochemist of international renown
for her research on the nutritional aspects of fats and oils, is a
consultant, clinician, and the Director of the Nutritional Sciences
Division of Enig Associates, Inc., Silver Spring, Maryland. Dr. Enig,
a consultant on nutrition to individuals, industry, and state and
federal governments, is a licensed practitioner in Maryland and the
District of Columbia. She has served as a Contributing Editor of the
scientific journal Clinical Nutrition and a Consulting Editor of the
Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Dr. Enig has authored
numerous journal publications, mainly on fats and oils research and
nutrient/drug interactions, and is a well-known invited lecturer at
scientific meetings and a popular interviewee on TV and radio shows
about nutrition. She was an early and articulate critic of the use of
trans fatty acids and advocated their inclusion in nutritional
labeling; the scientific mainstream is now challenging the food
product industry's use of trans-containing partially hydrogenated
vegetable oils. She received her Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences from
the University of Maryland, College Park, and is a Fellow of The
American College of Nutrition, a member of The American Society for
Nutritional Sciences, and President of the Maryland Nutritionists
Association.
