The Good - Unsaturated Fats. (2 types - Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated).Monounsaturated fats can have a beneficial effect on your well-being... IF eaten in moderation and used to replace saturated or transfats. This type of fat can also help reduce bad cholesterol levels and possibly lower your risk of heart disease and strokes. They are typically high in vitamin E which benefits overall health.
Polyunsaturated fats are typically found in liquid form at both room temperature or when chilled. A few examples of this type of fat are soybean oil, corn and safflower oil, and can be found in fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and trout. Sunflower seed and walnuts also contain this type of fat as well.Keep in mind that moderate use of these types of fats is key to promoting good health and weight loss.
The Bad - Saturated Fats. Normal healthy adults should consume less than 7% of their daily fat intake from this not-so-good-for-you fat group. Prime culprits which are loaded with this type of fat are beef, pork, veal, lamb, poultry, bacon, butter, whole and 2% milk, cheese and dairy products, deli meats (actually most processed meats contain fairly high levels of saturated fats), as well as coconut and palm oils.
