FATS, OILS, AND CHOLESTEROL
A diet high in saturated fat causes cholesterol to build up in yourarteries (blood vessels).
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance that can cause clogged orblocked arteries. This puts you at risk for heart attack, stroke, andother major health problems. Avoid or limit foods that are high insaturated fats.
Limit total fat intake to 25 - 35% of your total daily calories. Keepsaturated fats to only 10% of your total daily calories.
Foods with a lot of saturated fats are animal products such asbutter, cheese, whole milk, ice cream, sour cream, lard, and fattymeats such as bacon.
Some vegetable oils (coconut, palm, and palm kernal oils) alsocontain saturated fats. These fats are solid at room temperature.

Use no more than 5 - 8 teaspoons of fats or oils per day for salads,cooking, and baking.
Eat less than 300 mg of dietary cholesterol each day. (One egg yolkcontains an average of 213 mg of cholesterol.)
Some fats are better choices than others, but you should still use them inmoderate amounts. Think about the following when picking a margarine: Choose soft margarine (tub or liquid) over harder stick forms. Choose margarines with liquid vegetable oil as the first ingredient. Even
better, choose "light" margarines that list water as the first ingredient.These are even lower in saturated fat.
Avoid hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats (read the ingredientlabels).
Trans fatty acids are unhealthy fats that form when vegetable oil hardens ina process called hydrogenation. They are often used to keep foods fresh fora long time, and for cooking in fast food restaurants.
Trans fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels in your blood. They can
also lower your HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. Avoid fried foods, commercial baked goods (donuts, cookies, and crackers),
processed foods, and hard margarines.
