A chocolate milkshake may be bliss for your taste buds, but it’s not so good for your blood vessels.
A small new study suggests that consuming just a single, high-fat meal or food item, like a milkshake, may lead to unhealthy changes in your blood vessels and red blood cells.
In the study, researchers had 10 healthy men drink a milkshake made with whole milk, whipped cream and ice cream; the shake contained 80 grams of fat and 1,000 calories. Four hours later, lab tests revealed evidence that the men’s blood vessels were less able to relax (or dilate) and that some of their red blood cells changed shaped, becoming “spiky” instead of smooth.

I suspect that they are blaming the fat for what the sugar is doing.
I could be wrong but doubt it.
Sweden is the first western nation to abandon the LFHC diet in favor of a High Fat Low carb diet. The western Low Fat High Carb diet has been a total failure in the west and increasingly throughout the world.

Not all fat is the same. Fat from conventionally raised animals, including dairy products, is very different from fat that comes from organically raised, grass-fed animals. If that milkshake had been made from organic raw milk and milk products, it might have had a very different effect on the body. Similarly, fat from organically raised vegetables such as avocado, coconut, etc. is very different from processed non-organic vegetable oils.
