“So imagine you have a ton of pressure being laid up against this adaptive tissue, and that adaptive tissue experiences high pressure just like when you lift weights.

“So if I mean saturated fat does elevate LDL that's not a um I think people out there still try to like uh debunk that and that's that's just that's that's true like we know it does that right I mean it's it's a what saturated fat I think it docks to an LDL receptor making it so that LDL essentially can't dock in the liver or something right and then it's like so that even acutely can elevate it.”
Main Takeaways:
- Saturated fat is known to elevate LDL cholesterol, which is a well-established fact despite some attempts to debunk it.
