Many people regard fat as the main enemy and avoid it as much as possible. Others consume vast quantities. As usual, a balance lies somewhere between the two extremes. Not all fats are equal: this text sorts out the facts and separates the good fats from the bad ones. It looks at all types of fats - saturated, poly- and monounsaturated, cholesterol, evening primrose oil, omega 3s, omega 6s - and explains what they are, what they do, which ones are safe and which need caution. Fake fats and their potential problems are also covered. Health aspects explain how different types of fats are involved with excess weight, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and various types of cancer. This is a guide to all the fats you're ever likely to encounter.
