Oils, fats and the nonsense inbetween

Today I am on one of my high horses...and this one is about fats and oils...ugh...Oils, which ones are good for you?

We have been told for years how fat will make you fat and this fat is good and that fat is bad. This week butter is bad next week vegetable oils are good. And the more I hear and the more I research the  more nonsense it all makes!

Fat is good...period. It  does not make you fat and some fats are even essential, which means you cannot produce it in your body and you must have it for your health so you must get it from your food. These are the Omega fats that there is also a lot of "nonsense" about these too. They put extra omega fats in eggs and mild...but does this help or does it add to the imbalance of omegas that we get...yes we get far to much omega 6 and this is the problem.

I have written a post on the harmful fats and the myths surrounding eating fats on Squidoo. Go check it out here, Oils,which ones are good for you, and get more confused...no,only kidding. I hope it will help you a bit.
