Fat = Good

This may not be the start of the new all-butter diet fad, but a new study has been published that suggests that fat isn't the evil-doer that many take it for and may even be good for you. [Reuters]

"A relatively high amount of fat in the diet may be a boon to a healthy person's cholesterol levels, a small study suggests. On the other hand, limiting fat intake too much could have the opposite effect."
I realize that there's probably a study out there that will support just about any position out there, but it's still nice to have something out there backing me up.

Besides, they're pushing moderation. People should already know this, but this is America, where apparently the only way people can stop Super-sizing their extra-value meals is for Micky-D's to take it off the menu.
