A member asked:
Does eating saturated fat decrease your chance of developing heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Saturated fats may actually be a factor in increasing LDL (bad) cholesterol. Changing to mono or poly UN saturated fats may improve it. Weight loss, exercising, not smoking and not being sedentary, (as well as controlling Hypertension, Diabetes and Hyperlipidemia) are the best ticket to good health, independently of age
