Hope this help clear up some misconceptions that we should eliminate all fat from the diet. And also why diets like the "Atkins Diet" aren't recommended.
Sorry wrong on Atkins! Atkins done properly actually lowers cholesterol and is a very healthy diet if done with whole foods rather than protien bars and shakes. Will come back to link the article when I have 2 hands free. I am a firm believer that the fad of low fat diets has caused more damage than good to the health of the population.
