“There's been a series of conflicting observational studies that either show or don't show (depending on which one you're looking at) a link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease.”

“In a separate randomized trial limited to adults with phenotype B, a very-high-saturated-fat diet increased ApoB and several LDL-particle measures compared with a lower-saturated-fat diet.”

“Greater visceral abdominal fat was independently associated with increased markers of cerebral small vessel disease in participants without a history of symptomatic cerebrovascular disease.”

“All of this explains why saturated fat has less of an impact on insulin sensitivity in low-carbohydrate states—insulin levels remain low, fat oxidation increases, and less fat accumulates in the liver and muscles, reducing the risk of insulin resistance.”

“A Western dietary pattern high in saturated fat intake and consumption of refined flour, red and processed meat, and sugar-sweetened beverages was associated with shorter telomeres. In contrast, a Mediterranean dietary pattern, rich in plant foods, fish, and seafood, was associated with longer telomeres.”

“Dr. Krauss’s pioneering research revolutionized the way in which the scientific and lay communities think about cholesterol and saturated fat and their effects on human health. Dr. Krauss received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Harvard University.”

“Some studies suggest cheese may lower the risk of dementia and heart disease, despite its saturated fat content—raising questions about the effects of food structure, fermentation, and individual differences in metabolism.”

“This is mainly due to saturated fat’s LDL-cholesterol-raising effects. Saturated fat also increases liver fat more than fructose, a sugar that is unique in its ability to lead to fatty liver disease.”

“In fact, excessive intake of coffee with butter and/or MCTs likely has cholesterol- and ApoB-elevating effects due to the high calorie and saturated fat content—this could ultimately translate to increased cardiovascular risk.”
