I was surprised to see this study, as it goes against generally accepted paleo wisdom. Of all things in the world, they were eating baked sunflower oil in muffins, which should be stuffed with oxidized, pro-inflammatory omega-6. This is healthier than eating saturated fat (palm oil)? Perhaps the result would have been different had they used saturated animal fat.

Abdominal fat accumulation prevented by unsaturated fat
New research shows that saturated fat builds more fat and less muscle than polyunsaturated fat. This is the first study on humans to show that the fat composition of food not only influences cholesterol levels in the blood and the risk of cardiovascular disease but also determines where the fat will be stored in the body. Gaining weight on excess calories from polyunsaturated fat appears to cause more gain in muscle mass, and less body fat than overeating a similar amount of saturated fat.
