Know Your Fats! From worst to first, they are: *Trans-saturated Fats: These fats are strictly a science experiment. They do not occur in nature. Margarine is a great example. They are very harmful inside the body. *Saturated Fats: Usually come from animal fats. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, like the fats you see in meats, cheese, and butter. *Unsaturated Fat: These fats are found in most oils like corn, safflower, soy, and other vegetable oils. *Monounsaturated Fats: These fats are found in Olive Oil and avocados, and they contain the fatty acid Oleic Acid, which is beneficial to the body. *Omega 3 Fatty Acids: These fats are in a category of their own. They can be found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines and are great for your health!
