Inflammation in respective tissues cause heart attacks, not any foods.

The kind of sugar you actually want to avoid is processed and cane or corn derived, as it's only nutritional value is as a quick source of fuel. Repeatedly dumping high doses of this stuff will cause diabetes, that's no meme. What really flummoxes me is when people say fruit is terribly unhealthy, or claim that ALL sugars should be avoided. It's inane because, as people who haven't studied biology don't understand, protein is broken down into a number of components, some of which are then processed by the body into glucose. Glucose is REQUIRED by the body to function. Your brain alone needs 400 calories of glucose a day on average- it actually can't use anything else as a source of fuel. Your body can synthesize it from protein but there's no reason to avoid it if you're at a healthy weight. I'd encourage anyone of any health status to completely eliminate processed sugar from the diet, with the exception of the occasional fine dining experience or grandma's cookie.

As for cholesterol, people generally don't understand it's function either. Cholesterol is absolutely necessary for bodily function- and you get very sick without it. There's little research done on hypocholestemia because it's a rare issue- almost no one in the US is going to have low cholesterol- you'd have to be a vegan. If your cholesterol is within healthy limits, there is ZERO (0) reason to limit your intake. Period. Unless it's in the 250's, 300's, you're not at a pronounced risk for stroke or ischemia. I would aim for 200 overall.

Unless you're grossly overweight or have very high cholesterol, you SHOULD be eating butter and cheese (though there are other medical issues with dairy that I won't discuss here). In a controlled randomized study of geriatric inpatients, those fed butter and real animal fats as opposed to rapeseed oils actually had a LOWER rate of heart attacks, stroke, and ischemia.

Saturated fat is probably the best type of fat to consume, the more saturated the better. But you probably shouldn't have very much of it.

Simple sugars don't have much nutrients besides being carbs, but they're easy to digest and your body likes them, so what else are you going to use for calories ?

Keep fats low and saturated, 80 g of protein and eat a lot of fruit, low fat milk, juices and sugars.

Bad cholesterol is a shit meme to sell drugs. If you are normal wight dont bother with cholesterol.
