jrhana,

Recent studies of healthy individuals indicate that a single meal high in saturated fat will cause immediate increases in triglycerides, oxidative stress, and inflammation, which causes corresponding post-meal worsening of endothelial dysfunction, vasoconstriction, and systolic blood pressure.

That's very curious, because the best way to lower triglycerides is to eat more fat, more protein and less carbohydrates. See below for explanation:

Post-Prandial Stress. The immediate deleterious effects of a beverage containing 75 g glucose mixed with 700 kcal/m 2 of whipping cream. Within 2 to 4 h glucose and triglyceride levels double, causing immediate oxidant stress (nitrotyrosine), inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]), resulting in deterioration in endothelial function. FMD % = percent flow-mediated dilation. Data from Ceriello et al

Gee, and people get PhDs to come up with this stuff? How about 2 more tests, one with just 75g of glucose and another one with just whipping cream...
