> Saturated fats convert to cholesterol, high values of which is a common health problem. High blood cholesterol levels is a common health problem, but it doesn't follow that consuming too much cholesterol causes high blood cholesterol levels—it could be that the body can normally handle any amount of cholesterol/cholesterol precursor consumption within a wide range, but a dysfunction in the regulation mechanism results in health problems. And in fact, double-blind trials seem to support this theory: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIR.00000000000... "Evidence from observational studies conducted in several countries generally does not indicate a significant association [of dietary cholesterol] with cardiovascular disease risk." > An appeal to nature fallacy The theory of natural selection predicts that human metabolism is best adapted to consuming food similar to what was available for most of our evolutionary history. |
