Abstract

During the 12th congress of the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL) held in September 2016 in Stellenbosch, South Africa, the International Union of Nutritional Sciences and the International Expert Movement to “Improve Dietary Fat Quality” hosted a debate on whether meta-analyses and systematic reviews are decisive in formulating guidelines for dietary fat. ISSFAL chair and 2014 Nutrition Society Award recipient, Marius Smuts, North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa, asked for instance whether the evidence on individual saturated fatty acids should be translated into a food-based approach.
