I never said that saturated fat causes obesity. Most of America is sedentary and does not eat their recommended daily value of fiber which fights against high cholesterol levels. You can't deny that high cholesterol leads to heart disease. I understand what you are saying about research as I am becoming a dietitian at that moment. Have you read the China study?
It's nonsense.
This entire mess about low fat diet was started by this idiot..Ancel Keys. Read up on him and see how his study is bogus much like the china study.
Cholesterol as a whole does not lead to heart disease. Why do you think the liver makes cholesterol...to kill us??
Low density LDL gets trapped under
inflamed arteries which allow the small particle LDL to sneak into the creavices causing plague to form. You CANNOT eliminate cholesterol ....you will die!
People die more often from low cholesterol than normal cholesterol.
Cholesterol is essential to life, the brain, skin and many other organs in our body.
Being sedentary means nothing to cholesterol levels. Infants who are obese do not choose to not exercise..think about it!!
In general contrary to popular belief exercise has nothing to do with cholesterol. If you eat planty of carbohydrates in many cases you will get fat even if you exercise.
These are a few facts to work on understanding nutrition. I abreviated some of the explanations but you get the idea. Keep researching you barely scratched the surface. If you only source of info is the research on china study you are not going to learn a lot...THat's saying the Ancel Keys was correct in his study which know he was dead wrong.
Here is example for you to explain to me: why do eschimo population leave a healthy life only eating fat about 75% of their diet and protein with minimal berries intake in the summer?
Hint, their cholesterol is high yet they wont die of heart disease as you suggest.
