Banned from being provided, why are you trying to change what I was arguing into something else? Yep, because I was right. Your article even used the word banned.So it wasn't banned. It just wasn't provided.
They need a certain amount. Which they're already getting from plenty of sources. According to the DGA, 75-85% of children (depending on age) overconsume saturated fat.
Here's the American Heart Association encouraging children to eat foods low in saturated fat. Here's another study finding overconsumption of saturated fat.
I await your usual response of dismissing the sources based on meaningless quibbles or misunderstandings.
Those pages are full of misinformation... Just because those are from "official" sources doesn't mean they aren't misinformation. The AHA is a joke telling you that dietary cholesterol actually matters, everyone knows that it doesn't now (even though that was known over 50 years ago). Cholesterol numbers don't matter and there's no reason a kid should get a cholesterol test in the first place.
Whole and reduced-fat milk are higher in saturated fat than fat-free and low-fat milk. Saturated fat is well-established to contribute to elevated LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee found strong evidence that diets lower in saturated fat and cholesterol during childhood result in lower levels of LDL cholesterol throughout childhood.
Also that DGA is literally telling you to eat unhealthy. Polyunsaturated fats are horrible for you. This is what I mean by there's no way people are eating too many saturated fats. That only happens because the guidelines are telling you to replace what you would normally have had with something worse and then because they lowered the "recommended" value, people then end up "overconsuming" them.
For those 2 years and older, intake of saturated fat should be limited to less than 10 percent of calories per day by replacing them with unsaturated fats, particularly polyunsaturated fats.
