And both HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol levels were independent predictors of mortality from CHD. Subjects with higher cholesterol levels had a significantly increased risk of CHD mortality, but the ratio total:HDL-cholesterol was the strongest predictor of CHD mortality. The authors found that replacing carbohydrates with any food source rich in dietary fats will improve the ratio total:HDL cholesterol:Īnd the predicted changes were calculated:ĭo subjects with higher cholesterol levels have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease?Ī meta-analysis of 61 prospective studies examined the relation between cholesterol, and mortality from cardiovascular disease (Prospective Studies Collaboration. Saturated fat significantly increased total cholesterol levels, but the ratio of total:HDL-cholesterol was not influenced. Saturated fat consumption increased HDL-cholesterol to an even larger extend than both monounsaturated-, and polyunsaturated fat. Both the levels of 'bad' LDL-cholesterol, and 'good' HDL-cholesterol increased significantly. The analysis showed that replacing carbohydrates by saturated fat increased cholesterol levels, but contrary to what is often suggested, this effect is not necessarily disastrous. The feeding studies included lasted between 13 and 91 days. Often, advisory committees and scientists use the same article to prove that saturated fat intake negatively influences cholesterol: A meta-analysis of 60 randomized studies examined the effects of replacing carbohydrates by different types of fat (Mensink RP. THEORY 1: RESULTS FROM RANDOMIZED STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT SATURATED FAT CONSUMPTION INCREASES CHOLESTEROL LEVELS. Generally, advisory committees/scientists use 3 types of support for these recommendations:ġ) Results from randomized studies have shown that saturated fat consumption increases cholesterol levels.Ģ) Intervention studies have shown that the decrease of saturated fat, and simultaneous increase of polyunsaturated fat in the diet, decreases CHD risk.ģ) Prospective cohort studies have shown that saturated fat intake increases coronary heart disease risk.Īll types of support will be discussed, and brought into perspective with data from other types of evidence. These correlations have led to worldwide recommendations to decrease consumption of saturated fat in order to decrease risk or heart disease. And LDL-cholesterol increases risk of heart disease. Available at: Ĭonsumption of saturated fat increases levels of LDL- (bad) cholesterol. Source: Dietary fat, dietary cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease. And true results from the scientific literature were manipulated to better fit advices in 2 out of 3 reports. Effects from 'good' HDL-cholesterol on CVD, caused by saturated fat intake are ignored consistently. 2010) shows that all advisory committees ignored results from the majority of both randomized trials and prospective cohort studies. Analysis of the validity of conclusions from 3 advisory committees (Institute of Medicine. Analysis of randomized trials about substitution of dietary fats showed that changes in serum cholesterol, caused by changes in dietary fat intake, are not predictive of CHD risk. ![]() ![]() None of the intervention trials was able to isolate the effect from saturated fats on CHD. Analysis of randomized trials about substitution of dietary fats showed that a large amount of confounders was able to influence the effects on CVD. No data is available about the relation between meat fats and CVD. Certainly, no conclusion can be drawn that margarine intake decreases CHD rates relative to butter. ![]() Results from prospective studies show that full-fat dairy items and low-fat dairy items do not consistently differ in their effects on CVD. Inconclusive evidence was found for an association between any other type of dietary fat and any type of CVD. This association should also be interpreted with care since no evidence was found for an association with either CHD or stroke. Suggestive evidence was found that dietary cholesterol intake increases CVD risk. Both findings should be interpreted with care since no evidence was found for an association with total CVD. Very low consumption of saturated fat possible increases risk of intraparenchymal hemorrage, and high consumption of processed/vegetable trans fat possibly increases CHD risk. Results from prospective studies show few effects. Here is some more ammunition about the health effects of Saturated fat: ![]()
