Will drinking heavy cream cause

I believe the long term effects of drinking cream are increased subcutaneous fat and potentially decreased visceral fat. This should be beneficial for metabolic health. That said, drinking heavy cream is an unusually high dosage of saturated fat to the body all at once. I have no clue what short-term effects it could have. It's hypothetically possible it could cause those effects. I'd suggest taking a temporary break from gaining to see if things return to normal. If it's a primary short-term effect of the heavy cream, it should go away.
If plaque buildup in arteries is happening to you because of consuming heavy cream in the manner in which you do, it should get reduced during said break. If it was caused by something like an increase in visceral fat, the higher LDL levels which go along with that could add more plaque, though it could still go down over time. I know saturated fat can increase both LDL and HDL temporarily so this could be related. HDL helps reduce plaque though if I remember correctly.

Since I know this sort of thing interests you, I recommend looking up the role of inflammation in the formation of arterial plaques. Current evidence suggests that The presence of cholesterol does not passively cause plaques, but rather plaque formation is a response to arterial inflammation. I’d link you to articles, but it’s nearly 5 am and I should get off the internet.

Interesting...I'll look into it! Have a good night!

As a side note, you may also find it interesting that a proposed mechanism for causing the inflammation in the first place involves a diet rich in refined carbohydrates (citation needed, of course). And to think, the trend for low-fat and high-carbohydrate went on for decades....
