“Dr. Patrick therefore treats eggs as one part of the total diet and recommends considering LDL or ApoB response, saturated-fat intake, diabetes status, and medical context rather than assuming one universal intake is safe for everyone.”

“Much of this research has demonstrated that resveratrol exerts beneficial health effects – especially on the cardiovascular system – and has been shown to ameliorate the deleterious effects of an obesogenic diet (rich in saturated fat and sucrose) in monkeys.”

“Exercise does not replace dietary treatment for elevated ApoB or LDL cholesterol. Dr. Patrick emphasizes reducing saturated fat, especially in a pattern also high in refined carbohydrates, and improving overall food quality.”

“The authors of the study posited that failure to publish negative or inconclusive results can contribute to skewed research priorities and public health interventions. Link to full study. Listen to this podcast in which Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the controversy surrounding saturated fat intake and cardiovascular disease risk.”

“The research on dietary fats found that they are not associated with major cardiovascular disease, but higher fat consumption was associated with lower mortality; this was seen for all major types of fats (saturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and monounsaturated fats), with saturated fats being associated with lower stroke risk.”

“Dr. Patrick also connects meal size and fat composition with post-meal inflammation. In a randomized crossover trial, an omega-3-rich meal produced a different endotoxin and inflammatory response than saturated- and omega-6-rich meals.”

“Participants consumed a Mediterranean dietary pattern (8 percent saturated fat) supplemented with either 0.5, 2.5, or 5.5 ounces of lean, unprocessed beef per 2,000 calories consumed per day. As a comparison diet, participants also consumed an American dietary pattern (12 percent saturated fat).”

“Watch this clip with autophagy expert Dr. Guido Kroemer in which he describes this phenomenon. Link to full study. Listen to this episode in which Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the controversies surrounding consumption of saturated fat.”

“A new study shows a saturated fatty acid called stearic acid improved mitochondrial structure and function after oral ingestion in both healthy and diabetic people. There was also an increase in the utilization of stearic acid by the mitochondria.”

“In cancer cells, exposure to both omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats enhanced fat uptake and storage, which increased lipid peroxidation and induced ferroptosis to a greater extent than saturated or monounsaturated fats.”
