Date: 2024-01-05 07:22 pm (UTC)There's pretty good evidence of a definite downside to too much of either in the diet, especially saturated fat. And "too much" might be WAY less than we would like... Totally depends what you're optimising your life for though!
It's not much use to discuss this usually, you can probably find studies to support any view you want (but maybe check who funded them at least...)
(I'm going for maximum healthspan, personally)

Date: 2024-01-07 12:06 am (UTC)This WIRED article linked to their 2011 article on RISUG; the fact that that hasn't made significant progress in well over a decade makes me skeptical that this is going to go anywhere any time soon...and if this is a "repeat every 1-2 years" method rather than a "permanent unless reversed" method I'm not nearly as interested anyway.
