Detailed explanation-1: -The study, published Aug. 13 in Science, suggests that consuming food rich in saturated fat and choline-a nutrient found in red meat, eggs and dairy products-increases the number of metabolites that build plaques in the arteries.
Detailed explanation-2: -If there’s too much cholesterol in the blood, the cholesterol and other substances may form deposits (plaques) that collect on artery walls. Plaques can cause an artery to become narrowed or blocked. If a plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form. Plaques and blood clots can reduce blood flow through an artery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eating an unhealthy diet that is high in fat will make hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) worse and increase your risk of a heart attack. Continuing to eat high-fat foods will cause more fatty plaques to build up in your arteries. This is because fatty foods contain an unhealthy type of cholesterol.
