    Study Notes

    • Guidance from various medical organizations, including WHO, recommends reducing intake of saturated fat to improve health and decrease risk of cardiovascular diseases.

    • Saturated fatty acids exist in different proportions among food groups, with lauric and myristic acids found mainly in tropical oils and dairy products, and palmitic and stearic acids in meat, eggs, cocoa, and nuts.

    • Common examples of saturated fatty acids include: Lauric acid (12 carbons), Myristic acid (14 carbons), Palmitic acid (16 carbons), and Stearic acid (18 carbons).

    • Consumption of saturated fat contributes to cardiovascular disease risk, particularly through increased LDL cholesterol levels and dyslipidemia.

    • Saturated fat intake has been linked to higher mortality rates from all causes, as well as from cardiovascular disease.

    • Recommendations to reduce or replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats are made by various health organizations.

    • Dietary intake of total saturated fats, palmitic acid, and stearic acid is not associated with type 2 diabetes risk.

    • However, dietary lauric and myristic acids may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

    • Saturated fat intake is linked to increased breast cancer risk and mortality.

    • Observational studies suggest a high-saturated-fat diet increases prostate cancer risk.

    • Food sources of saturated fat include: tropical oils, dairy products, meat, eggs, cocoa, and nuts.

    • Health organizations advocate for limiting or replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats, including in dietary guidelines and expert reports.

    • Traditional target for saturated fat intake is less than 10% of daily energy intake, with limits varying for high-risk groups.

    • Saturated fat intake is related to increased cardiovascular risk.

    • Dietary lauric and myristic acids may have different effects on lipid levels compared to other saturated fatty acids.

    • Guidance from various medical organizations, including WHO, recommends reducing intake of saturated fat to improve health and decrease risk of cardiovascular diseases.
