The "Vegetarians have much lower sperm counts" article actually related the findings to pesticides, which implies that people should eat pesticide-free foods (kind of a non-brainer, OMHO).

As for saturated fat ingestion, the findings and patient treatment results of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn are very impressive, scientifically measurable and contrary to the quotes you referenced. Diets high in animal proteins are a big issue with regard to inflammatory diseases, cancer, osteoporosis and autoimmune issues. A high animal protein diet and high saturated fat intake go hand in hand, just by the very nature of things.
