It's about balance in raising HDL over LDL, like adding omega 3's, some exercise (eg. 30-40 min. walk raises HDL by some 9%) reduce sugar, check to make sure you have adequate b vitamins, etc.
Excellent find spanky, (see what I mean) oleic acid is featured heavily in Mediterranean diets which is shown to lower heart disease. Although it causes some concern, I think we won't be red lining with palmitic acid. The point being is to find that right balance of omega 3-6-7-9's. Consider our daily diets, how many calories do we consume daily?, if you want to loose weight you go under 2000 cal's a day. Out of that how many fat grams do you get?, 60? 80?......just start by tracking those grams by using apps (bar codes) or manually into our smart devices and it does the work for you. Once you've done that, then make sure you've cut the trans fats into mono and polyunsaturated fats. Eat a sensible diet, cut the sugar and starch intake and get some exercise.
We need fat (new fat to be exact) without which we don't make the necessary fuel to burn those carbs (aka-energy), and our asses balloon up to biblical proportions, and other very bad stuff like heart disease.
