If you have a heart condition, or is in serious danger of having one, you should avoid all saturated fats.

If you're just a regular, healthy person, you should watch your intake, but not religiously.

saturated fats
A fat, most often of animal origin, that is solid at room temperature and whose fatty acid chains cannot incorporate additional hydrogen atoms. An excess of these fats in the diet is thought to raise the cholesterol level in the bloodstream.
