The other go-to on why the USDA guidelines are faulty is Gary Taubes and his book Good Calories, Bad Calories which also covers the history of the so-called lipid hypothesis (that saturated fats are bad for you). I cook with only ghee, bacon grease and coconut oil. Some articles by Taubes:

+1 Coconut oil.

I was never crazy about coconut anything. Blech.

Now I cook with it, a morning smoothie, and crave macaroons and coconut flour paleo treats.
