“The authors concluded that prophylactic probiotic supplementation reduced the cholesterol-raising effects of a high-saturated fat diet. These results demonstrate that L. reuteri persists in the digestive tract and influences metabolism after supplementation.”

“Compared to phospholipids containing saturated fats, which are easily stacked and condensed, phospholipids containing DHA create a very fluid structure. Generally, more fluid membranes facilitate the movement of receptors, transporters, and other structures embedded in the membrane, improving cell metabolism.”

“Findings of a new report link high saturated-fat diets to increased heart disease biomarkers among mice with high levels of E. coli bacteria. The gut microbiota, the community of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses that lives in the human intestine, is highly influenced by changes in diet.”

“This may be further evidence that it is the processed foods and refined sugar that can make saturated fat dangerous but in the absence of that junk food saturated fat is not bad (however, other genetic factors can also be important here). Many of the studies out there do not differentiate between a person eating a low refined-carb/high-saturated fat diet and the standard American diet.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids and other dietary fats The overall quality of the fats in a person's diet influences intestinal permeability, too. For example, a trial found that postprandial LPS increased markedly after saturated fat consumption.”

“Each of the men consumed three versions of a high-saturated fat, refined carbohydrate meal, providing approximately 1,000 calories per meal, separated by a three-day washout period.”

“The supplemented mice also exhibited increased levels of PPAR-alpha, a protein that regulates fat metabolism by increasing uptake and utilization. " An in vivo study in mice fed an obesogenic diet (high fat and high sugar) with or without vitamin C found that vitamin C reduced body weight gain, particularly in terms of fat mass, compared to mice fed the obesogenic diet alone.”

“A new meta-analysis found no link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease but did find that a Mediterranean diet (41% fat) supplemented with at least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or a handful of nuts lowered the risk of cardiovascular events by 30% compared to a low-fat (37% fat) diet.”

“Going even higher—to ~2.0–2.2 g/kg/day or 1 g/lb—can make sense. For example, gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously (referred to as body *recomposition) often requires a caloric deficit but an amino acid surplus, which can be achieved by prioritizing protein.”
