It seems pretty well established, even on this forum, that saturated fats cause more of an endotoxin/LPS response than unsaturated fats. So chugging a cup of fish oil will actually provoke less endotoxin/LPS -> less estrogen -> less FFA ... etc
The main studies we have that the UNsaturated oils are damaging, is @haidut 's posts of people with certain diseases having higher "metabolites" of unsaturated fats in their urine or elsewhere.
But We know that the body is capable, under some conditions, of producing unsaturated fats (for instance, cold exposure can produce unsaturated fats, even when diet is saturated fat only). So where is the evidence that completely avoiding them in the diet is a good thing?
I keep seeing more and more studies, including the one from Harvard posted on the forum, that saturated fats are associated with higher mortality and disease.
You can easily find studies showing that saturated fats are bad, and that they weaken the resistance of the organism to many diseases. Just do a simple online search. Here are just 2 studies I found:
A saturated-fat diet aggravates the outcome of traumatic brain injury on hippocampal plasticity and cognitive function by reducing brain-derived ne... - PubMed - NCBI

This is interesting, given the fact that Peat says animals high in saturated fats are more resistant to injury.
But since the body can saturate unsaturated fats, and unsaturate saturated ones, in vivo, isn't it better to focus on optimizing metabolism, than obsessing about dietary fat ratios?
Where's the evidence that a low fat diet, of mostly unsaturated fats, is toxic?
