A member asked:
Would a diet high in saturated fat from nuts, milk, and fish raise cholesterol if i am at a healthy weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholesterol: Regardless of what the media seem to portray and how foods are marketed cholesterol is about your genetics by significant amounts than your diet. I cannot imagine a healthy young male at age 17 having any effect on their cholesterol from this normal diet.
