    00:45 There are nutrients/vitamins in fat.
    01:30 There was little or no effect on cardiovascular or all-cause mortality by reducing
    saturated fat for 2 years.
    01:38 Reducing saturated fat possibly reduced cardiovascular events.
    04:00 Heart attack risk and saturated fat reduction has no clear correlation.
    05:30 Replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat, carbs, or protein
    effects did not differ.
    06:15 There may be a prevention of second heart attacks with saturated fat reduction.
    07:00 Other cardiovascular events and cancer outcomes effects were very small or unclear.
