One of my takeaways is that eating plant-based saturated fat does not cause or exacerbate coronary artery plaque. Do you agree that the article at least implies this conclusion, or am I misinterpreting or stretching too far?
I ask because, probably like many of you, I avoid high saturated fat, whole plant foods (coconut, avocado, nuts) on the recommendation of Dr. Esselstyn at least and perhaps others (Novick? McDougall?). Now I am wondering, because of Campbell's piece, whether there's disagreement among the WFPB gurus on the level of hazard from eating whole plants with a high saturated fat content for people like me who have diagnosed heart disease.
