There are numerous diets which expound the belief that saturated fats are evil and will certainly lead to heart disease. Examples are the Dean Ornish Spectrum and Engine 2 diets. The issue is there is no scientific basis for their arguments that saturated fat are bad.
Below is a fairly recent article which discusses why fat is your friend.
The truth about fat and sugar: Cardiologist explains why FAT is the best medicine - and why it's so crucial to our health
I also highly recommend books such as Nina Teicholz's, The Big Fat Surprise.
As always, it is an experiment of one. I would recommend that you run frequent blood tests (optimally once every three months) to track how any dietary and/or other lifestyle change effect your health.
Enjoy!
