Red blood cell changes.
Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia recently conducteda study1that fed healthy volunteers two meals on different days.
Bacteria contain dangerous components called endotoxins that can be released into the bloodstream and may contribute to diseases likeobesity4.
The endotoxins were demonstrated to activate cells that promote hardening of arteries.
The clotting of blood is involved in heart attacks, strokes, and pulmonary embolism.
After fatty meals rich in saturated fat, measures of the tendency to clot increased in astudy7on healthy volunteers.
This was not seen after a low-fat meal.
The potential for a fatty meal to trigger heart attacks has been discussed in themedical literature13for many years.
Agroup14of healthy men were fed a high-saturated fat meal while blood was sampled.
After the meal, total and free testosterone levels dropped to a significant degree.
The impact of one fatty meal on health is shocking.
Remember, everything in moderation.
Here’s how eating a super low-fat diet can mess with your health, too.
