Big Fat Lies
Colette Heimowitz, M.S.
Saturated fat has gotten a bum rap. The real enemy of your health is trans fat, which lurks in many processed foods.

Many people mistakenly think all fats are nutritional villains responsible for everything from coronary artery disease to obesity. To the contrary, many health problems may actually be caused by deficiencies of certain fats—even the much maligned saturated fats. Fats serve an array of important functions, including cushioning our organs against shock and insulating vital tissues against cold. They also influence body-temperature regulation, pain sensitivity, appetite control and cognitive performance. Along with glucose, fat is a primary source of energy and is present in every cell membrane of our body. One legitimate concern about fat is that it can form carcinogens when charred.
