"You say anyone can eat saturated fat?"

http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/saturated-fat-and-large-ldl.html

Here's Dr. Davis' no nonsense explanation of why some folks might do well to avoid a lot of saturated fat:
"If, on the other hand, your small LDL is genetically programmed, then saturated fat will increase small LDL. In other words, saturated fat tends to increase the dominant or genetically-determined form of LDL. If your dominant genetically-determined form is small, then saturated fat increases small LDL particles.

So to say that saturated fat increases large LDL is an oversimplification, one that can have dire consequences in the wrong situation."
