Good Fats Bad Fats

I will introduce this subject by referring to two web sites, the first obviously advocate that grass fed beef is better for you than grain fed beef; the second has similar emphasis for chicken.

Good Fats Vs. Bad Fats

The Good 

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats have been linked to higher ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL) and decreased ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL). Research suggests that eating these kinds of fats in moderation can improve your blood glucose levels and reduce your risk of developing heart disease.

You can find them in plant oils – olive, sunflower, canola, rice bran – as well as in nuts, fish, seeds, avocados and soy. These types of fats are also a staple of the Mediterranean diet, which is considered to be one of the healthiest diets in the world.
