Answer;

-Saturated fats

Explanation;

-Cholesterol is transported in the blood by different carriers. The relative amounts of cholesterol transported by each carrier can affect one’s risk for heart disease. The two major blood cholesterol carriers are LDL (low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein).

-LDL cholesterol is known as “bad” blood cholesterol, and functions to deliver cholesterol to cells throughout the body and can be deposited as “plaque” on artery walls.

-Dietary fat, especially saturated and trans fats, may raise blood levels of total and LDL cholesterol. High total blood cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol levels increase risk of heart disease.
