Inflammation and plaque on your artery walls are two different things. Also, sources of saturated fats such as meat and dairy cause inflammation.

The problem with that study is that it is observational and was set up to fail.
Metabolic ward and interventional studies still show that if you eat more saturated fats, your cholesterol increases.
For example, if you add 30g of butter to your diet every day, your cholesterol will go up.
Sorry for breaking it to you.
I never said it wouldn't "go up" - but that butter may do more good than harm.

"CONCLUSIONS: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat."
