I believe no one is really arguing that saturated fat is bad for you, but only that too much saturated fat is bad for you. All those health organizations which advocate a reduction in saturated fat are saying so because they believe the North American diet contains a lot more than what is needed or optimal.

If insulin spikes are the main argument against grains, then I would say eliminating grains is not entirely necessary. One could avoid spikes by eating more often but in smaller portions. In fact, I think at least 4 meals a day (afternoon snack) is advocated in most health guides.
