You might want to look up more recent research on saturated fat. there's still no doubt that hydrolyzed fats are horrible for you though.

- zzzeek 4y agomy cholesterol goes up proportionally to saturated fat intake, the link between saturated fat and LDL cholesterol (and LDL cholesterol and heart disease) is quite clear despite a huge desire from the public for there to be other "studies" that somehow make it OK to down any amount of dairy. I spent many years hoping for such studies all the while my 300-level cholesterol was lining my arteries with plaque until I finally had to get on statins (not a vegan here).
- stjohnswarts 4y agoI guess if it's anecdote vs anecdote, then my cholesterol numbers were bad, as well as other indicators for prediabetes until I switched to a keto diet and dropped 60lbs. Now everything is perfectly normal in my labs and pretty much only watch hydrolyzed/trans fats in my diet, which has moved from keto to "lower carb" and not as strict as strict keto. Saturated fats are fine for me. So, congrats on your health and on mine.
- zzzeek 4y agoI could have just become vegan which for me would have been easier than keto. I reduced carbs enough to lose 15 pounds (I am only 165) and the numbers didn't budge at all, so that wasn't going to work. Living under a keto regime is not realistic for me.
