“Small, dense LDL particles are thought to be more atherogenic and have been shown to form in the presence of both saturated fat and refined carbohydrates. You can read more about the role of small, dense LDL particles in atherosclerosis on the summary of the podcast I did.”

“They assigned participants to receive meals with avocado (about one Hass avocado) or meals without avocado that were matched for calories and total fat. The two meals contained different amounts of saturated fat, unsaturated fat, and fiber.”

“Both tended to emphasize higher-quality carbohydrate sources while containing lower amounts of refined carbohydrates, saturated fat, trans fat, and processed meat. That overlap may help explain why the two healthier approaches showed similarly lower rates of coronary heart disease.”

“Saturated fatty acid intake induces inflammation in the hypothalamus that can eventually lead to apoptosis of hypothalamic neurons and subsequent loss of the control of caloric intake and energy expenditure.”
