[HIGHLIGHTS] Cholesterol too high: Which fat you eat is crucial

Cholesterol too high: Which fat you eat is crucial. Men consume around 16 percent and women around 15 percent of saturated fatty acids every day.

A low-carbohydrate diet could be particularly effective if you have an increased risk of heart disease. The more often you consume larger amounts of these unhealthy fats in your diet, the greater the risk of hardening of the arteries and cardiovascular disease. People who only eat foods containing unsaturated fatty acids should be at the least risk of secondary diseases such as diabetes and heart attack.
