Saturated Fats

Saturated fats are the demons of all fats because they can raise your blood cholesterol, which then can lead to heart disease. Animal fats found in meat, poultry, and whole milk dairy products are all high in saturated fats. Also saturated fat will be found in coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils; which are found in cookies, crackers, nondairy creamers, and other baked products. Saturated fats help to stimulate the production of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol), which in turn increases blood cholesterol levels, and the risk of heart-disease. Do yourself a favor and try to cut back on the consumption of saturated fats. Doing this will help your from heart disease, certain cancers, and other potential health problems in the future.
