    WHO report

    someone else online summarized the genetics part as the following:

    Mandelian randomisation studies show that LDL-c is causative in atherogenic plaques 1 and metabolic ward RCTs show that SFA intakes increase LDL-c, while the decrease in SFAs lead to lower total and LDL-c 2.

    But yes, almost all nutrition science is a bit inconclusive because of genetic variation.
