A UL is not set for saturated fatty acids because any incremental increase in saturated fatty medicine acid intake increases CHD risk. It is medicine neither possible nor advisable to medicine achieve 0 percent of energy from saturated fatty acids in typical whole-food diets. This is because all fat and oil sources are mixtures of fatty acids, and consuming 0 percent of energy would require extraordinary changes in patterns of dietary intake. Such extraordinary adjustments may introduce undesirable effects (e.g., inadequate intakes of protein and OCR for page 423 Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids certain micronutrients) and unknown and unquantifiable health risks.
