The recently updated, WHO Healthy Diets Fact Sheet reiterates, once again, that saturated fat intake should not exceed 10% of total energy intake. WHO affirms that the quality of dietary fat is important. Unsaturated fat is preferable to saturated fat and trans-fat (TFA) of all kinds, including both industrial trans-fat and ruminant trans-fat (found in meat and dairy foods from ruminant animals).
