High blood pressure, smoking, diabetes/overweight/inactive, are the main risk factors. High cholesterol has been debunked not to mention that dietary cholesterol has no correlation with blood cholesterol.
Saturated fats are fine, our nutritional woes didn't start when we started eating butter that was millennia ago. Various trans-fats are right-out evil and hydrogenated fats should be avoided the data still isn't particularly clear on those.
Like, you're attacking pretty much any nut fat when you're attacking saturated fats. No, coconuts are not responsible for modern levels of heart disease Samoans didn't have the absurdly high levels they currently have when they still were, in fact, eating much more coconuts and much less simple carbs. Similar with Inuit, but with saturated fats from meat instead.
You sound like a brochure. If you want to convince me of that kind of claim link an independent metastudy. You're on /c/science_memes, remember.
