Beneficial effects of replacement of SFA by polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fat or carbohydrates remain elusive.

The wrong way to deal with this is to pretend the problem doesn't exist. A lot of the latter seem to have happened on the past; not always by the original authors, but by the community as a whole.
