RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Thanks. It is really good to know that I can be more relaxed with saturated fat in my diet. I'm already doing low carb.
Yeah, that's great! I hope you see improvements.
If someone is worried about saturated fat content of their diet they can always do calcium imaging of their arteries - it's inexpensive and gives a actual score of risk. As far as I've read in the literature serum cholesterol is not a danger, only if it's damaged - which can be measured by several proxies (tg/hdl ratio, fasting insulin) or measured directly through diffusion (though that is expensive).
