Detailed explanation-1: -Consuming high levels of saturated or trans fats can also lead to heart disease and stroke. Health experts generally recommend replacing saturated fats and trans fats with monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats – while still maintaining a nutritionally-adequate diet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fat. For example, if you need about 2, 000 calories a day, no more than 120 of them should come from saturated fat. That’s about 13 grams of saturated fat per day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trans fat is considered the worst type of fat to eat. Unlike other dietary fats, trans fats-also called trans-fatty acids-raise “bad” cholesterol and also lowers “good” cholesterol. A diet laden with trans fats increases the risk of heart disease, the leading killer of adults.

Detailed explanation-4: -Limiting how much saturated and trans fats you eat is an important step to reduce your blood cholesterol and lower your risk of coronary artery disease. A high blood cholesterol level can lead to a buildup of plaques in the arteries, called atherosclerosis, which can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
