Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fat tends to raise levels of cholesterol in the blood. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is called “bad” cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is called “good” cholesterol. Saturated fats raise the levels of both.
Detailed explanation-2: -In humans, saturated fat intake increases LDL cholesterol in comparison with all nutrients except trans fats [2•]. Because saturated fat also increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the total cholesterol (TC) to HDL cholesterol ratio (a risk marker for CVD) is not altered.
