A UK cardiologist is calling for a change in public health advice on saturated fat.
Dr Aseem Malhotra says the risks have been overstated, with other factors such as sugar intake being overlooked.
It is time to "bust the myth of the role of saturated fat in heart disease", he writes in an opinion piece in the British Medical Journal.
The British Heart Foundation says reducing cholesterol through drugs or other means does lower heart risk.
