I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of a high-fat diet. What are the dangers?

The main danger associated with a high-fat diet is an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Eating too much saturated fat can also increase your cholesterol levels, which can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Additionally, high-fat diets may increase your risk for obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer and other health problems.
