![Page 5: Did you know that cheese is the #1 source of saturated fat in the American diet?](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bff21a28abf838cbb957/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Saturated Fat and You
• “A strong body of evidence indicates that higher intake of most dietary saturated fatty acids is associated with higher levels of total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Higher total and LDL cholesterol levels are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.”
– The Dietary Guidelines for Americans

Saturated Fat and You
• “Saturated fats and trans fats tend to raise ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood. This, in turn increases the risk for heart disease.”
– MyPlate
