The Saturated Truth: Why Excessive Butter Consumption Is a Silent Killer for Your Heart

The digestive and metabolic strain of processing such a high volume of fat should not be overlooked. Your gallbladder and liver must work overtime to produce enough bile to emulsify and break down the lipids.

When the liver is overwhelmed by fat, it begins to export more triglycerides into the blood, further thickening the blood and making it more difficult for the heart to circulate it efficiently.
