Its cool to see this information getting out to the public, actually the saturated fat mentioned in vegtable oils and fast foods is actually trans fat. Trans fat is a man made fat sorta its developed certin oils are hyrdogenated or put at extremely high heat level at least thats what I've heard, no super sure on the trans fat deal. I can tell you that its more then just Redmeat that will help your cholestorol, there are 3 basic forms of saturated fats Small chain, medium chain, and long chain. The ones you want the most are small followed by medium these are found in coconut oil, avacados, butter, milk, raw milk is far better. Saturated fats often get a bad rap because studies put it in the same catagory as trans fat. The studies also generally used the hyrogenated version of these fats so the results are often negitive.
I consider Omega 3's and monounsaturated fats low/medium sat fats and few polyunsaturated fats to be good for health. Like the red meat there is no current studies of saturated fat raising cholesterol levels. Next to that point there is no current studies that link high cholesterol to heart disease.
