Meh, our bodies can't even eat fatty meat / saturated fat in bulk quantities because it reduces liver LDL receptor expression that keeps ApoB in our arteries which lays down plaque and is independently causal for heart disease, and yet that fact that we've known for half a century doesn't stop Americans from speedrunning atherosclerosis.
Novel foods that our bodies have no evolutionary experience with have an advantage over familiar foods.
- tsimionescu 2y agoIsn't the newer science that there is no relation between dietary cholesterol and atherosclerosis, except in people who already have elevated cholesterol levels?
- DennisP 2y agoBut GP mentioned saturated fat, not dietary cholesterol.
