Recently some researchers from the University of Bergen have found that overindulging on saturated fats like butter or cream may not have the overall negative health impacts on the heart as previously was thought. This is because it has been found that high fat diets are associated with an increase in the levels of good cholesterol for someone.
Key Takeaways:
- The current theory surrounding saturated fat would suggest that the high-fat, low-carbohydrate group would be at greater risk of heart disease than the low-fat, high-carbohydrate group.
- The notion of limiting saturated fats to support a healthy body weight and reduce the risk of chronic disease has featured in health guidelines for decades.
- The majority of foods that are naturally rich in saturated fat come from animal sources, including meat and dairy products.
“Prof. Simon Nitter Dankel and colleagues have questioned and overturned the dietary theory that saturated fat is unhealthy for most of the population.”
