You’ve probably heard that greasy meals aren’t great for your heart...

When you stop reading at the first line.

Who eats 130 grams of fat in one meal?

That would be 26 slices of Costco Thick-sliced bacon at a sitting.

Or more than entire *stick* of butter.

Clickbait fearmongering.

Gee ... after heavy meals, the body pushes more blood to digest the food, and a little less to the brain.

I wonder if the men got sleepy and wanted to take a nap?

One less thing to worry about in a few years, when we’re all eating bugs, I guess. :P

Each participant consumed a specially formulated high-fat drink made from heavy cream, chocolate syrup, sugar, and powdered milk.

How do they know that the chocolate syrup and the sugar aren't the problem?

Silly Desired Result looking for a fabricated cause model.
130 grams of fat in one sitting?
Who the phoook would do that?

Body weight lbs/grams of fat in a whole DAY is a lot for many Keto folks, excepting real active or weight lifter types.
180 lbs, 180 grams of fat in the day.

Also-
“heavy cream, chocolate syrup, sugar, and powdered milk”
That’s a phookin Ice Cream Shake.

That’s not KETO.
Rib Eye Steak and Eggs is the correct kind of protein.
Maybe a teaspoon of Cream in yer Coffee.

I’m sure the combination of fat and sugars didn’t have anything to do with the results.

Ok - that’s a completely moronic study. Might as well say that one super chocolate thick shake meal with no protein is bad - like you can get at a Starbucks Frappuccino… but they won’t make that correlation because Starbucks is hip…

Fast food is a mixture of fat, protein and carbs which will digest far differently than a pure carb, processed fat meal. That’s WELL KNOWN.

My great grandmother used to eat the bacon grease out of the pan after making breakfast EVERY time she did that and lived to 92!

This study is interesting but overlooks a critical factor: none of the participants appear to have been fat-adapted—that is, following a long-term low-carb, high-fat diet.

Their bodies and brains were likely accustomed to using glucose—not fat—as their primary fuel source. When someone who eats a standard high-carb diet suddenly consumes a high-fat meal, short-term disruptions in blood lipids and vascular function are unsurprising. Their metabolism isn’t equipped to process that fuel efficiently.

In contrast, fat-adapted individuals tend to show a different physiological response. Triglyceride levels often stabilize, vascular health improves, and the brain increasingly runs on ketones—a cleaner, neuroprotective fuel. The impairments seen in this study likely reflect metabolic inflexibility, not an inherent danger of dietary fat.

BTW, the ketogenic diet is also being studied as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s, since the brain’s ability to use glucose declines with age and disease—but its ability to use ketones (from fat) remains intact.

By excluding fat-adapted individuals, the study presents an incomplete—and potentially misleading—picture of how the body truly responds to fat when it’s part of a well-adapted nutritional strategy.

I’ll bet they only tested people who run a serum glucose based metabolism and not one whose citric acid cycle benefits from ketones.

Of course people on the SAD (standard american diet) don’t need much fat in their diet. Their body (and their insulin) already turns all the carbs they consume into fat.

Think of the great food until all the isms, a lot of freepers would love to get some green beans the way they used to be cooked and with that incredible flavor, most of us would skip the butter and sugar sandwiches, but butter and that big 1 or 2 quart can of bacon grease permanently sitting on the stove flavored some wonderful foods and were a big part of daily eating.

This is a strange study.

It is 100% proven beyond doubt that a high fat, ketogenic diet converts the brain to a ketone based metabolism that has many cognitive and neurological protective benefits

So eat a bunch of bread that turns into sugar nearly instantly, and leaves you hungry for more!

Freepers have noticed what a fraud this “study” is. Putting fat and sugar together invalidates any results. These “studies” remind me of the last time I was in England. All of the dietary “studies” were pushing vegetarianism. I'm sure they've moved on to bugs by now.

How can a high-fat drink made from heavy cream, chocolate syrup, sugar, and powdered milk be considered a "meal"?

“a specially formulated high-fat drink made from heavy cream, chocolate syrup, sugar, and powdered milk.”

So...an other hogwash study.
