2015 Regarding saturated fat, question 5 was answered using the NHLBI systematic review and related AHA/ACC Guideline on Lifestyle Management to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk, which focused on RCTs, as well as existing SRs and MA addressing this question published in peer-reviewed literature between January 2009 and August 2014. Particular emphasis was placed on reviews that examined the macronutrient replacement for saturated fat. (Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, p. 332) |
