Generally, animal fats should be limited to lean meat and maybe a small amount of dairy.

Good fats: peanuts/peanut butter, flax oil, vegetable oil.

Check out Fitday for more info.

Trans fatty acids, anything hydrogenated

Good oils: flax (of course), safflower, sunflower, and olive.

Also, the fats in peanut butter and soy nuts. And fish oils.

Bad: anything else, I think.

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!!

Buk - I use a canola oil mayo with my tuna. From what I'm told, it's considered a "good" fat.

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??
