"Atherosclerosis affects only herbivores. Dogs, cats, tigers, and lions can be saturated with fat and cholesterol, and atherosclerotic plaques do not develop (1, 2). The only way to produce atherosclerosis in a carnivore is to take out the thyroid gland; then, for some reason, saturated fat and cholesterol have the same effect as in herbivores."
Twenty questions on atherosclerosis
Assuming that man is somewhere between carnivores and herbivores, could this explain the contradictory research on the eternal question regarding saturated fat & heart disease? Could it be that saturated fat both is and isn't harmful to vascular health depending on the health of one's thyroid?
