Misconceptions About Dietary Fats by Dr. Robert Osgoodby

unsaturated fat, two great sources of healthy unsaturated fat can

be found in cold water fish like salmon, trout and halibut, and

flax seed oil.

Saturated fats are the unhealthy fats that are associated with a

myriad of health problems. They contain virtually nothing

nutritious or good for your body, it's only role is it can be

burned as energy. The fact is, you don't need saturated fats at

all, but the typical diet is jam-packed with them. For health

reasons, you want to consume as little saturated fats as

possible. Saturated fats are generally solid at room temperature

and can be found in butter, margarine, dairy, cheese, and meats.

I am not recommending you become a vegetarian and eliminate meat

from your diet, but make sure when you are at the meat counter

you select lean cuts. You do not have to eat meat every day.

There are many other good non-animal sources of protein including

beans, soy, and tofu.

The truth is, some fats are health promoting and essential to

life itself. I recently read a great book by Dr. Udos Erasmus,

one of the world's foremost experts on dietary fats. I highly

recommend you read his best selling book "Fats That Heal, Fat's

That Kill." Dr. Erasmus believes that eating enough healthy fats

is just as important to maintaining health as eliminating

unhealthy fats.
