aturated fats, found in animal products such as whole milk and meats as well as coconut and palm oils, should be a limited part of your family's diet. They can cause high levels of "bad" (LDL) cholesterol.
Unsaturated fats, such as fish and most vegetable oils, are healthier sources of fat, but still have a lot of calories.
Trans fats or trans fatty acids form when vegetable oils harden (if they don't harden completely, the fats are called partially hydrogenated). These can also raise "bad" cholesterol levels and lower "good" (HDL) cholesterol levels. Trans fats are found in fried and processed foods, margarine, and commercial baked goods. Check labels for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, and avoid them.
