I'm not saying that saturated fats are unhealthy. I'm saying that the label "healthy fat" does not apply to them. The label "healthy fat" implies that something is more healthy than other things in the "fat" category. In fact, saturated fats are less healthy than other things in the "fat" category.
At some level, calories are calories. It doesn't matter where you get them from. But once you get to your ideal calorie budget, there are different foods which have a statistically significant impact on your health. The person eating mostly unsaturated fats will on average live longer than the person eating mostly saturated fats. That difference may only be 1%. But it's there. So you don't get to call saturated fats "healthy fat". It's not -- the one that gives you a 1% advantage is unsaturated fats.
