A member asked:

Looking for more clarity:apart from contributing lot of calories & bad effects of saturated fat,what are other reasons a high fat food is discouraged?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fat food: If you continue taking fat food you will quickly minimize your blood flow, particularly blood supply to your heart. Stop eating so much saturated fat or pay the price. I am sure you don't want that.
