How much does saturated fat put you at risk for atherosclerosis?

A lot: Putting it simply, it is one of the main elements or factors in the development of arterioesclerosis.

No one really knows.: Atherosclerosis, an accumulation of white blood cells within the walls of arteries, typically starts in childhood, is primarily driven by lipoproteins (the proteins which transport fat in the water outside cells). The most important fat is the fat we have stored inside us and is transported by the lipoproteins. Sugars in food, converted into fat in our liver, are the bigger driver. See nusi.Org.
