Scientists have uncovered the deadly damage of following a diet high in fat, damage that paves the way for fatal cancers.
Liver cells are chronically overwhelmed by the unhealthy fats common in processed foods, which make up about 55 percent of the American diet. This dietary pattern drives the nation’s 40 percent obesity rate and, according to the latest research, pervasive cellular damage.
This forces the organ into survival mode, in which it ceases its normal function, including cleaning the blood, processing nutrients, removing toxins and producing vital proteins and enzymes for the body, to focus on purely surviving the chronic stress of a bad diet.

I am posting this only to emphasize the study is on mice. Mouse studies are a scientifically useful start but rarely replicate in humans. Human brains are composed of 20-25% cholesterol despite being only 2% of our body weight. The diets used in this experiment were based on highly processed foods, which are problematic for many other reasons, a chief one being they ruin the gut biome. A normal mouse in nature does not consume a HPF diet nor does it consume large amounts of saturated fats. There is a good deal of evidence that quality saturated fats are good for humans. ABN
