The main dietary factor associated with elevated blood cholesterol is?
Korolek [52]

The main dietary factor associated with elevated blood cholesterol is saturated fat.

<h3>What about saturated fat?</h3>
  • Because they increase the amount of LDL cholesterol in our blood, saturated fats, sometimes known as "bad fats," increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders (including heart disease and stroke).
  • Cholesterol that is circulated in the blood.
  • The majority of this cholesterol is produced by the body, however some is also absorbed from the meals you eat.
  • Even if they include fat, foods derived from plants never contain cholesterol.
  • Only foods from animals do. Low density lipoproteins are able to transport cholesterol.
  • Dietary fat, particularly saturated and trans fats, may increase LDL and total cholesterol levels in the blood.
  • Blood cholesterol levels may be lowered by substituting polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, particularly olive and canola oil, for some saturated fats.
  • When we consume too much saturated fat, the receptors stop functioning as effectively, and blood cholesterol levels rise.
