Foods High in Saturated Fat
A few decades ago it was decided that the epidemic of heart disease was
caused by eating too much fat, in particular saturated fat.
This was based on highly flawed studies and political decisions that have
now been proven to be completely wrong.
A massive review article published in 2010 looked at 21 prospective
epidemiological studies with a total of 347.747 subjects. Their results:
absolutely no association between saturated fat and heart disease (6).
The idea that saturated fat raised the risk of heart disease was an unproven
theory that somehow became conventional wisdom (7).
Eating saturated fat raises the amount of HDL (the “good”) cholesterol in
the blood and changes the LDL from small, dense LDL (very bad) to Large LDL,
which is benign (8, 9).
Meat, coconut oil, cheese, butter… there is absolutely no reason to fear
these foods.
Bottom Line: Newer studies have proven that saturated fat does not cause
heart disease. Natural foods that are high in saturated fat are good for you
