| Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol more than anything else in the diet. This type of fat is found in large quantities of animal products, including fatty meats, cold cuts, poultry skin, cheeses, butter, shortening, chocolate and coconut. Function Animal fat itself contains some cholesterol, but saturated fat (a large component of animal fat) stimulates cholesterol production in humans and so animal fat contributes in two ways to cholestrol levels. Directions Saturated fats are found primarily in animal products -- meat and dairy products such as milk, butter and cheese. |
