Healthy Living Tip 23

Saturated Fats and LDL

Saturated and trans fats are the primary dietary components responsible for raising LDL cholesterol levels.
Saturated fats are typically found in animal products.
Foods high in saturated fats include fatty meats, whole milk, cheeses, ice cream, and butter.
Trans fats are found in fried fast foods, commercial baked goods, and food products containing "partially hydrogenated" vegetable oils (such as some margarines).
