There are plenty more examples where that came from, so you shouldn't just blindly accept everything you are told by scientists. A little healthy scepticism is required.

The current recommendation is still for it to be a smaller part of an overall diet.
The NHS breaks down these kinds of stories quite well:

But in the end it is further scientific research that has (slightly) change how people view saturated fats. They also told you that smoking is bad, asbestos is bad and red meat can be bad. Do you suggest we ignore that too in case it's later revised? All we can do is go on the best information we have until such a time as we learn more. (Although I still eat red meat I just don't resent scientists for informing me of the health impact, ditto alcohol).
