The [[American Heart Association]],  the [[American Diabetes Association]] and the [[National Cholesterol Education Program]] make similar recommendations. In contrast, Prof [[Walter Willett]] (Harvard School of Public Health, [[Principal investigator|PI]] of the second [[Nurses' Health Study]]) recommends much higher levels of fat, especially of [[Monounsaturated fat|monounsaturated]] and [[polyunsaturated fat]]. These dietary recommendations reach a consensus, though, against consumption of [[trans fat]]s.
