While someone may seem healthy on the outside, eating lots of this type of food could be doing serious damage internally.
One type of food eaten by millions of Brits could be causing lasting damage to peoples' hearts and bodies - even if it’s not causing weight gain, scientists have warned. New research has shown that eating a diet rich in saturated fat could significantly increase the risk of potentially deadly diseases, although participants seemed healthy on the outside.
Body weight was unchanged in both groups after 24 days, yet the participants who ate more saturated fat had test and scan results that are linked to an increased risk of heart disease. This group’s levels of total cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol – known as “bad” cholesterol – in the blood were approximately 10 percent higher than before the study.
“The results the researchers saw in lab-grown heart cells will hopefully improve our understanding of how these changes happen. Longer studies with more participants are needed to confirm these findings and show whether these short-term changes increase people’s risk of serious heart problems in the long term.”
