Views on saturated fat
editKrauss disputes the current saturated fat guidelines.[10][11][12] Krauss has argued that "the amount of saturated fat that we consume in our diet has a relatively small effect on the saturated fat in our body compared with the amount that is produced from carbohydrates."[13] In a 2016 interview with Mark Hyman, Krauss stated that his research has not found a connection between saturated fat intake and increased heart disease risk and that it is carbohydrates that increase the risk.[14]
