All In All Health Mini Series: Nutrition Myths, Lies, Truths and Facts Facts on Fats: changing your diet can be an effective, gentle, inexpensive, delicious way to prevent, relieve or even reverse a wide variety of health conditions. If you are at risk or have been diagnosed with heart disease, you should take steps to reduce your intake of unhealthy fat. Trans fats (found in most margarines, snack foods, heavily processed foods and some cooking oils) may encourage heart disease. Polyunsaturated oils such as soybean oil (typically labeled as vegetable oil) should also be avoided, as they are easily oxidized when heated such as in deep-frying, rendering them inflammatory. Use quality extra virgin olive oil as the primary fat in your diet, focus on eating heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids like those found in wild Alaskan salmon, and shun products containing hydrogenated oils or trans fats.
