Saturated fat is the type of fat that may increase blood cholesterol levels.

If a diet history consisting of a 7-day food record shows that your saturated fat intake is above recommendations, should you worry? Why or why not? Are there any other ways or tests that can be done to find out what your risk of developing heart disease is? What other components of nutritional assessment (ABCDs) would help you determine your overall risk for heart disease?
Please state what these tests would measure and how they would help assess your risk of developing heart disease.
