The best that can be said is that increasing SFA in association with high carb diet impairs flow mediated dilatation. Also, "Diets high in fat, especially trans and saturated fats," trans fats are a manmade creation (as a attempted replacement to saturated fats) that everyone agrees are dangerous. Any diet high in trans-fats is going to be bad for you, whatever they are combined with.
