Cholesterol and Saturated Fat

Dietary cholesterol has been misunderstood for decades, with recent acknowledgments highlighting its minimal impact on serum cholesterol levels. While saturated fat can increase LDL cholesterol in many individuals, it's crucial to differentiate between saturated fat and cholesterol itself, as they are fundamentally different molecules. The body's unique system for transporting cholesterol, which is hydrophobic, poses challenges in a water-based medium, complicating the discussion around fat consumption and heart health.
