First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looked at how eating a typical Western diet (high in saturated fat, fructose, and calories) for 8 weeks affects immune cells called monocytes in healthy, normal-weight adults aged 20-45. Researchers measured changes in a protein linked to inflammation and heart disease. The goal was to understand the early steps that may lead to heart problems, not to test a treatment.
