There are plenty of studies that link saturated fats to CAD, CVD, various types of cancer, and diabetes. I found them with the New England Journal of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, American Heart Association, among others, but do not wish to pay for a subscription to prove it to you. I'm sure all of the authors are players in this conspiracy to push carbs and withhold fats, though.
I know there are many "experts" who say that high-fat is related to CVD, and many studies predicated on the "sure knowledge" that it is true... and the media repeats it ad nauseam... BUT as I said before that does not make it a fact.

I have never forced my regimen on anyone. Why must you attack a plan that works for some, while we are not doing so?
Please show me where am I attacking a plan that works for some? I am promoting low-carb and, as I keep saying, it is not for everyone. People have asked for advice on weight-loss, BG control or improving lipids... I try to help them.

I am confident in my choices and do not feel threatened in the least... if you feel attacked that is your issue not mine.
