Refined carbohydrate and added sugar are bad for us, but demonstrably no worse than saturated fat from the usual dietary sources. Saturated fat from less usual sources, such as coconut and cacao, is less harmful and perhaps innocuous, but not beneficial. In contrast, unsaturated fat from the usual sources, notably nuts and seeds, olive and avocado, fish and seafood- is beneficial. So, too, are vegetables and fruits, beans and lentils, and whole grains.
