The Differences Between Fats

All fat is not the same. Unsaturated fat has a neutral effect on HDL or good cholesterol. The good cholesterol helps to keep your arteries clear of clogging which prevents a heart attack or stroke. Saturated fat has a negative effect on cholesterol by raising LDL or bad cholesterol. This clogs. Which is so bad. Trans fats which are the worst kind of fat because it is chemically made and will lower HDL and raise LDL cholesterol. There are no health benefits to eating trans fats and they only help to keep food from spoiling. That's great for the companies who make the food since they don't have to worry about lost profits due to spoilage. Meanwhile we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hospital or worse.
