 All such studies on saturated fats ignore certain obvious factors that make them look a bit  ridiculous. For example, there are plenty of studies which show that processed meat causes  more harm than standard cooked meat, yet they label ALL meat as bad. Then there's another point made in a particular study:- "Another confounding issue may be the formation of exogenous (outside the body) advanced glycation endproducts
 (AGEs) and oxidation products generated during cooking, which it 
appears some of the studies have not controlled for. It has been 
suggested that, "given the prominence of this type of food in the human 
diet, the deleterious effects of high-(saturated)fat foods may be in 
part due to the high content in glycotoxins,
 above and beyond those due to oxidized fatty acid derivatives." [34] 
The glycotoxins, as he called them, are more commonly called AGEs".

In other words raw(healthy) saturated fats do not lead to Alzheimer's as they do not contain the heat-created toxins, such as AGEs/advanced glycation end products which lead to a higher incidence of Alzheimer's.

In the case of chick-peas, salads etc. mentioned in the article in the previous post, the only benefits of such foods is that some of them  are  usually eaten raw or only lightly steamed, plus they  produce far fewer heat-created toxins than meats, when cooked. Other than that, they are not terribly nutritious.
