FATS:
Saturated fats are fats which are listed on the label, are found primarily in animal products such as meat, whole-milk dairy products, poultry skin, and egg yolks. Consuming too many of these fats can raise your cholesterol levels so you should only have less than ten percent. Trans-fat was created to increase food shelf life. Manufacturers take healthy polyunsaturated
oils and blast them with hydrogen gas to solidify them, and, in the process, make them really unhealthy. You should always
look for labels that say no trans-fat. There are also good fats. Unsaturated fats are found in products resulting from plant sources, such as vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. There are two main categories which are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated fats are found in high concentrations in canola, peanut, and olive oils, as well as olives, peanuts and peanut butter, and avocados. Studies have found that monounsaturated fat helps lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated fats are found in sunflower, corn, safflower, cottonseed, and soybean oils, nuts, and fish. They've been found to help lower total cholesterol levels and prevent heart disease.
