Are all fats bad for cholesterol and health?
No, in moderation some fats help maintain good heart health. It is the types of fats in the diet that is important. Dietary recommendations are to: • Eat LESS “bad” saturated fat found in full fat dairy products, butter, fatty meats, cakes, pastries and take-away foods. • Replace saturated fat with the “good” unsaturated fats (mono- and polyunsaturated) found in sunflower, canola, olive oils, nuts, fish and margarine spreads.
