What's the difference of eating good and bad fats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better choices...: Eating the right type of fats in the right amount can have a dramatic impact on your health. The usda guidelines suggests 25-35% of your daily calories should come from fat with no more than 7% coming from saturated fat. Saturated fats and trans-fats are unhealthy and disease promoting. Healthy fats contain essential fatty acids and can be found in olive and canola oils.
