Abstract
Lipids and lipoproteins play a central role in the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Dietary fatty acids and refined and simple carbohydrates (CHO) affect the risk of developing ASCVD by modulating circulating lipids and lipoproteins. Replacing saturated fatty acids (SFA) with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and complex CHO lowers total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Viscous fiber and plant sterols/stanols decrease TC and LDL-C. Dietary cholesterol increases TC and LDL-C, but less so compared to SFA. Added sugars, refined CHO, and alcohol increase triglycerides (TG). A healthy dietary pattern that meets nutrient recommendations favorably affects lipids and lipoproteins and lowers ASCVD risk.
