Frank Lipman. In reality, saturated fat consumption is linked to the increase of blood LDL cholesterol levels.Facts About Cholesterol. "Only saturated fats increase blood levels of cholesterol and heart-disease risk… Eating foods with a lot of saturated fat raises your risk for heart disease; this causes the amount of bad LDLs in your blood to increase while good HDLs decrease."Saturated fat. "There are different types of fat in the food we eat, and saturated fats are the type that raise blood cholesterol.The truth about fats: the good, the bad, and the in-between. "A diet rich in saturated fats can drive up total cholesterol, and tip the balance toward more harmful LDL cholesterol, which prompts blockages to form in arteries in the heart and elsewhere in the body."The Skinny on Fats. "Your body naturally produces all the LDL cholesterol you need. Eating foods containing saturated and trans fats causes your body to produce even more LDL, raising the level of “bad” cholesterol in your blood."
