A good way to remember “good” vs. “bad” fats: Healthier fats like mono- and polyunsaturated varieties are typically liquid at room temperature; harmful trans- and saturated fats are generally solid. Today, challenge yourself to do the sight test as well as relying on memory and knowledge when it comes to making smart choices about dietary fats. Here are some better bets: • Monounsaturated: Olive, peanut and canola oils, and avocados and nuts • Polyunsaturated: Vegetable oils including corn, safflower, and soy

    I don’t buy ANYTHING that has trans fats. Even my “junk food” has to be fairly healthy, usually with as much fiber as possible. I switched to “Smart Balance” for cooking, baking, and table use. I’m a Type 2 diabetic and have to watch carbs, fats, sodium, cholesterol, and fiber. I had a heart attack last year, so now I have to be super-vigilant about everything I consume.
