Many people regard fat as the number one enemy and avoid it as much as possible. Others consume vast quantities of the stuff. As usual, balance lies somewhere between the two extremes.
In 'God Fats, Bad Fats' nutritionist Rosemary Stanton maintains that not all fats are equal. She sorts out the facts and separates the good fats from the bad ones. She looks at all types of fats - saturated, poly- and monounsaturated, cholesterol, evening primrose oil, omega 3s, omega 6s - and explains in simple language what they are, what they do, which ones are safe and which need caution. Fake fats and their potential problems are covered too.
