Study Notes
-
Medical organizations including the World Health Organization advocate for reducing saturated fat intake to improve health and reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
-
Saturated fats appear in different proportions in various food groups: palm kernel, coconut oil, cow's milk, and breast milk contain lauric acid; dairy products and cow's milk contain myristic acid; meat and eggs contain palmitic and stearic acids.
-
Saturated fat is linked to cardiovascular disease: the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, British Dietetic Association, American Heart Association, World Heart Federation, British National Health Service, and others advise that saturated fat is a risk factor.
-
Reducing saturated fat intake and replacing it with unsaturated fats or carbohydrates can decrease cardiovascular disease risk.
-
Saturated fat consumption is also linked to dyslipidemia and increased risk of heart disease and stroke due to abnormal blood lipid levels.
-
Saturated fat intake is associated with breast cancer risk and mortality, as well as increased risk of prostate cancer.
-
Dietary recommendations to reduce, limit or replace trans fats and saturated fats with unsaturated fats are made by various health organizations worldwide.
-
In 2003, the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization recommended limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily energy intake and less than 7% for high-risk groups.
-
Saturated fats with myristic and palmitic acids should be replaced with fats containing lower amounts of these particular fatty acids.
-
In developing countries, energy intake may be inadequate, energy expenditure is high, and body fat stores are low, so saturated fat intake restrictions may not apply.
