Review Your Fats
July 13th, 2009
It’s a good idea to periodically test your knowledge and review the facts on dietary fats-which foods products promote healthy blood cholesterol levels and which ones don’t.
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the two unsaturated fats. They’re found mainly in many fish, nuts, seeds and oils from plants. Some examples of foods that contain these fats include salmon, trout, herring, avocados, olives, walnuts and liquid vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, safflower, canola, olive and sunflower.
Both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats may help lower your blood cholesterol level when you use them in place of saturated and trans fats. -American Heart Assoc. website.
