What happens when you get too much saturated fat?

Answer 1

Animal fat is a great source of Saturated Fat.

When you eat too much animal fat, the amount of saturated fat increases in the body, which in turn a high source of LDL (bad cholesterol).

When the cholesterol level increases in the body, it leads to Heart diseases as well as some types of cancers.

Answer 2

Too much saturated fat increases the LDL (bad cholesterol) in your blood stream. This will cause plaque to build up in your arteries, making it difficult for blood to pass through. The end result is a heart attack.

Answer 3

Eating too much fat, especially saturated fats and trans fats, can cause weight gain. It can also lead to plaque uild up in the arteries, which can lead to Heart disease, high blood pressure, and Diabetes.

Answer 4

This is a simple question that requires a complex answer. Saturated fats generally are not hazardous to health unless consumed with refined carbohydrates. Prior to the industrial revolution, people ate saturated fats in the context of baked goods, confections, or animal products.

Strangely enough, whereas animal sources of saturated fats are routinely demonized these days, warnings regarding manufactured foods made with omega-6 seed oils are rare. In the context of a diet rich in supportive nutrition, however, animal sources of saturated fat do not produce an artery clogging effect.

Another part of the equation is chain length the fatty acids. Short chain saturated fatty acids are not readily stored in fat cells. On the other hand, long chain saturated fatty acids are more readily taken up by and stored in fat cells.

Answer 5

While it may be possible to consume too much saturated fat, it's not likely to happen. The powers that be have proclaimed saturated fats a health hazard because about 60 years ago an overzealous scientist distorted data from some epidemiological studies in order to support his belief that higher serum cholesterol increased the risk for clogged arteries. The edible oils industry and vegetarian activists, for obvious reasons, have been promoting the idea ever since.
