Separating FAT From Fiction – Cholesterol, Statins, Saturated Fat & Your Health

The Lipid-Heart Hypothesis
For the last 40 years the dietary instructions from governments and other authoritative bodies have told us that saturated fat is bad because it leads to clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes.

Saturated fat raises LDL cholesterol in the blood.
LDL cholesterol lodges in the arteries, causing atherosclerosis and eventually heart disease.
