Everything Is Connected:Health: Review: Know Your Fats Free Book Review: Know Your Fats The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils and Cholesterol by Mary G. Enig, Ph.D There's a lot of misinformation about fat out there. Even most of the "experts" have their facts wrong. Read this book and get your information from a real expert. Dr. Enig is an internationally known researcher specializing in fats and oils. She got frustrated by all the errors and ignorance and decided to set the record straight. For example:  The only really "bad" fat is trans fat, also called hydrogenated oil.Saturated fats are actually healthy. (Surprise!)Coconut oil/butter contains lauric acid, which is antimicrobial. In other words, it kills germs and helps you fight infection.Lard is actually only 40% saturated fat. It's half monounsaturated like olive oil, and 10% polyunsaturated.Never cook with canola oil or corn oil or any other mostly polyunsaturated oils. They break down and become dangerous. Choose olive oil, tropical oils, or animal fats instead.This is only a small sampling of the wealth of information included. Dr. Enig has created an awesome book.
