    • ↵i Please note that de Souza's results compare high saturated fat with low saturated fat intakes, while our systematic review of RCTs assesses effects of reducing saturated fat (effectively compares low saturated fat intake with high intake), so the RRs will be inverted. It is difficult to compare these directly but confidence intervals appear to overlap for all outcomes.
