Ketonia dietitian expert

The dietary advice to minimize intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) without considering specific fatty acids and food sources is not aligned with the .

Furthermore, Based on several decades of experience, a focus on total SFAs has unintendedly guided governments, consumers, and industry toward foods low in SFAs but rich in refined starch and sugar that cause many major health problems.
