Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your body naturally produces all the LDL cholesterol you need. Eating foods containing saturated and trans fats causes your body to produce even more LDL-raising the level of “bad” cholesterol in your blood. It’s worth understanding the different kinds of fats: Saturated, trans and unsaturated.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our liver cells have LDL receptors on them. When LDL cholesterol passes by in the blood, these receptors take the cholesterol out of the blood and into the liver to be broken down. Research suggests that eating too much saturated fat stops the receptors from working so well, and cholesterol builds up in the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. In humans, diets high in saturated fat and cholesterol raise HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your body needs healthy fats for energy and other functions. But too much saturated fat can cause cholesterol to build up in your arteries (blood vessels). Saturated fats raise your LDL (bad) cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.
