This question addresses recent findings regarding dietary fats and their impact on cholesterol levels.
Since the answer options are not provided in the data, we cannot restate or evaluate each choice individually. Instead, we can explain the reasoning behind the identified answer given in the data: 'd. monounsaturated'.
Monounsaturated fats (such as those from olive oil, canola oil, avocados, and certain nuts) are known in nutrition research to influence lipid profiles by helping to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol when they replace saturated fats in the diet. This replacement effect reduces the amount of atherogenic (harmful) cholesterol carried by LDL particles.
Additionally, monounsaturated fats can contribute to a modest improvement or no adverse change in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which is the “good” cholesterol, and may help decrease triglycerides in some individuals. These mechanisms collectively align with the idea that monounsaturated fats may lower the most harmful kinds of cholesterol when used in place of more saturated fat sources.
A common misconception is to think all fats are uniformly harmful or neutral; in reality, the type of fat matters. Replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats tends to yield more favorable lipid effects than simply reducing total fat intake. However, it’s also important to consider overall dietary patterns, total caloric balance, and individual health status when interpreting these findings.
Without the other options, we cannot assess why the other statements would be incorrect, but the general evidence supports a lipid-lowering role for monounsaturated fats when used as substitutes for saturated fats in the diet.
