Can someone offer an opinion on canola? It is low sat-fat, but I don't think there's any health benefit to it. It's in a lot of things--since it's associated with "diet" foods.
Good fats=anything occuring naturally in a "traditional" human diets including fresh, lean game, fish, nuts seeds etc....
Bad fats=anything not present in ancestral diets including hormonally fattened and antibiotic treated fat live stock, or anything in excess for prolonged periods!!

How about "cocoa butter"? My protein bars boast: "No trans-fatty acids!" but cocoa butter is prominent in the ingredients. Do you think that is just as bad??
