Take a look at the Medline entry for that study, and look at the 
comments, as well as -- if you have time; there are 21 -- the reviews 
among the 70 citing papers:

I wouldn't base my dietary choices on the conclusions reached. I'm not 
saying dietary SFA is evil; rather: we don't know. If I had to guess I'd 
say one would be better off with complex carbs and lots of MUFA and some 
PUFA. (It's also likely that SFA is a problem only above a certain chain 
length.) Can't wait until we have richer computer models of human 
physiology and can do virtual trials!


James, how amazingly fortunate you are to have gotten a whole genome 
scan! And thank you for participating in the PGP. Your participation 
benefits us all. (I'm still trying to decide which health data 
tracking/storage system is best so that I can upload my health data.)

I'm also testing blood glucose regularly. I'm less convinced we know how 
to interpret blood lipids, so I'm holding off on doing that frequently, 
but th science is pretty solid on the merits of keeping glucose down -- 
both avg. levels and spikes, possibly even very brief spikes (although 
CR rodents in the normal model of CR, where, for budgetary reasons, the 
animals are fed once a day, have huge, though fairly brief glucose 
spikes, but still live extremely long lives).
