Well, the "we don't know" part is based, of course, on a LACK of 
evidence. If you're wondering about my guess, that's based on 
epidemiological studies (those of long-lived peoples, and those conduct 
on people around the Mediterranean -- very weak evidence in both cases, 
thus "guess").

Take a look at some of the work here:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=dietary+saturated+fat+chain+length+cholesterol

(use "Review" and "Human" filters).

Although BELOW a certain chain length there could also be probs! --

(Telemore length per se might not be as important as people think, though.)
