“Eggs provide high-quality protein, choline, B vitamins, selenium, and carotenoids, while yolks also contain cholesterol and some saturated fat. Controlled feeding trials show that eggs can raise both LDL and HDL cholesterol in some people.”

“The ketogenic diet is contraindicated in people with pancreatitis, fat metabolism disorders, and other rare metabolic conditions. Some people carry a version of the apolipoprotein E gene called APOE4 – a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.”

“In a randomized crossover study of 20 healthy adults, a saturated-fat meal raised measured circulating endotoxin, while an omega-3-rich meal lowered it. The measured systemic inflammatory biomarkers did not differ between the meal conditions, showing that the response depends on the meal, marker, and study setting.”

“MCT powder and heavy cream also add saturated fat. Repeated large additions across several coffees can materially increase daily saturated-fat intake and may raise ApoB-containing lipoproteins in susceptible people.”

“In a three-week crossover trial in 29 healthy young men, sugar-sweetened beverages changed fasting glucose, LDL particle patterns, and high-sensitivity CRP. Small meal-challenge studies have also measured higher endotoxin and selected cellular inflammatory signals after saturated-fat-rich cream or coconut-oil meals.”

“Gut microbes also influence dietary choices, which, in turn, influence which microbes survive. Adherence to a Western diet, which is high in processed foods, refined sugar, and saturated fats, promotes a misfit population of microbes that chronically activates the body's immune system.”

“Dietary fat also matters to steroid-hormone physiology: a meta-analysis found modestly lower testosterone on low-fat diets than higher-fat diets, without establishing that saturated fat or any one food should be used as a testosterone treatment.”

“Saturated fat can increase cholesterol synthesis and reduce hepatic LDL-receptor-mediated clearance, although individual responses vary greatly. Food pattern, genetics, and energy balance therefore require measurement rather than assumptions.”

“The typical Western diet, characterized by high intakes of processed foods, refined sugars, and saturated fats, raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to the phenomenon of "leaky gut" syndrome.”
