Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Excessive dietary fat intake has been linked to increased risk of obesity, coronary heart disease and certain types of cancer. High consumption of saturated-fatty acids is widely considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Detailed explanation-3: -After just one fatty meal, there is also an increase in a protein called Clotting Factor VII that causes blood to clot, research has found. Elevated levels of Clotting Factor VII impede blood flow and increase the danger of plaque rupture, which increases the risk of a heart attack.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main health issue with dietary fats is how they influence cholesterol levels. Consuming high amounts of saturated fat produces more LDL (bad) cholesterol, which can form plaque in the arteries and increase your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
