Saturated fat increases low density lipoprotein or the bad cholesterol. This is the cholesterol that doctors warn us about that causes clogged arteries and cause Heart disease. Some saturated fat is OK. We all have to have some saturated fats and some low density lipoproteins. It is when we intake too much that problems begin to arise.
