"Oxidized lipids contribute to heart disease both by increasing deposition of calcium on the arte- rial wall, a major hallmark of atherosclerosis... Levels of oxysterols and OxLDL (oxidized low-density lipoprotein) increase primarily as a result of three diet or lifestyle factors: the consumption of oxysterols from commercially fried foods such as fried chicken, fish, and french fries; oxidation of cholesterol in vivo driven by consumption of excess polyunsaturated fatty acids from vegetable oils; and cigarette smoking." #themoreyouknow
