Only trans fats are considered "bad fats" by the most recent and best research. Saturated fat has at worst a net neutral effect on blood cholesterol, and dietary cholesterol has been shown to have essentially zero effect on blood cholesterol levels. The trend was initially "all fat is bad," then (after studies disproved that) it was, "oops, only saturated fat is bad," and now that has essentially been discredited.

I usually try to eat a lot of almonds and peanut butter. I tried eating flax seed, but just don't know how to consume it. I tried blending it into a shake, but really didn't workout. Not sure how I can get more overall healthy fats. Nice, really great overview of healthy fats. I usually try to eat a lot of almonds and peanut butter.
