Drinking alcohol reduce cardiovascular disease risk

 In addition to this direct effect on these measures, further analysis suggested that there is also a dose-response relationship between higher levels of saturated fat intake and the aforementioned outcomes. Furthermore, results indicated that replacing energy from other sources with energy from saturated fats could lead to an even greater increase in risk of developing chronic diseases like CVD and T2D. Although this report provides compelling evidence regarding the effects of consuming high amounts of saturated fats on health outcomes related to lipid metabolism disorders such as CVDs and T2D, additional research is still necessary in order to fully understand how different types of dietary fat may interact with other components in foods or beverages to further influence health outcomes beyond just their direct effects on lipids.
