Which type of fat should be reduced in heart disease?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Saturated fat
A heart-healthy diet generally limits saturated fat because excessive intake can raise LDL cholesterol and contribute to atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk. Foods such as fatty meat, butter, ghee, and many fried or processed products may contain substantial saturated fat. The diet should replace some saturated fat with healthier unsaturated sources, as advised clinically.
