The sorting feels so obvious you would not call it a belief — it is just how fats work, settled before you ever questioned it. But that ranking runs on a merger. When you heard that saturated fat was bad, you filed it under both heart health and weight gain at the same time. Two separate questions, one list, and no reason to notice they might have different answers.
