Snacks high in saturated fat and sugar can increase levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol, especially for Britons over 45. Dr Thomas Butler, a nutrition expert, states that excessive saturated fat consumption impedes the liver's capacity to process LDL cholesterol. Additionally, excess sugar forces the liver to produce more fat that turns into LDL, while lowering "good" HDL cholesterol.
