>Can you please provide evidence to support your statement that the translocation of endotoxin is facilitated by a "saturated fat transport system"? It is my current understanding that a high fat diet increases endotoxemia by affecting the bowel bacterial composition, specifically by reducing bifidobacteria. I think it is the bifidobacteria which help maintain intestinal integrity.
