Saturated fats used in processed foods can lead to high cholesterol.
Saturated fats come from animal sources, like hamburgers or grease, and lard or butter that are used to cook some fast foods. To lower your intake of saturated fats and high cholesterol foods, stay away from lunch meats, hot dogs, fatty meats and toppings made with cream cheese and sour cream. If you must have a fast-food fix, check the restaurant menu. The information here is not intended to replace the advice of your physician.
