What are the main sources of saturated fat in the diet?
These include meat, especially fatty and processed meats, full-fat dairy foods (cream, cheese and milk), as well as butter, lard, and hard margarines and any foods made from these such as cakes, biscuits, pastry, pies and puddings. Good practice is to replace these with lower fat dairy foods, lean meat, seafood and nuts. Choose oils like rapeseed and olive oils for cooking, and spreads based on olive or sunflower oils.
