Saturated fats vs Unsaturated fats - Explained

Saturated fats vs Unsaturated fats - Explained

Two main reasons why so many people are wrong.

#1   Their classification of  good and bad fats only considers the effects on cholesterol and LDL.  If eating a fat (saturated) causes the levels of these to rise then the fat is considered bad.  If eating a fat (unsaturated) causes the levels to fall then the fat has been labeled as a good fat.  But clogged arteries, heart attacks, strokes and Type-2 Diabetes are not the only health problems a person can suffer from.  It's wrong to classifying a fat as good or bad based solely on what it does to cholesterol and LDL levels.  

#2  The public has not been provided with adequate information.  Did you know a diet high in unsaturated fats can cause cancer? Arthritis?  Do you know these fats can also worse inflammatory reactions?  Only recently has the negative effects unsaturated fats have on inflammation been reported.  Adverse inflammatory reactions can led to a plethora of nasty diseases.
