Saturated fats raise LDL (bad cholesterol).
All unhealthy fats and processed foods contain bad cholesterol
LDL cholesterol accumilates in the arteries which clogs them and results in heart attacks and heart diseases.
HDL cholesterol levels greater than 60 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) are high
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called 'good' cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
