Simply put: Without fats, you will die. With too many fats, you will die.
There are good fats and bad fats, so it depends which one you consume.
there are good and bad fats. just try not to eat too much... you should be fine...
Cholesterol and calories are not really linked. Cholesterol is more about learning the difference types of fats (lipids). There are good fats and bad fats. There is also good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. For instance, olive oil and salmon help to raise your good cholesterol, even though they contain fats. A cheeseburger would raise your bad cholesterol.
Hydrogenated fats are bad for your health because they contain trans fats, which can increase levels of "bad" cholesterol and decrease levels of "good" cholesterol in the body. This can lead to an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems.
Saturated fats and trans fats are bad for you because they raise your cholesterol and increase your risk for heart disease. But monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are good for you, lowering cholesterol and reducing your risk of heart disease.
Unsaturated fats typically is associated with lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and raising "good" cholesterol (HDL)
Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats are the "good" fats, whereas saturated fat is a bad fat, and trans fat is the worst fat
'good fat' is in all the right places such as for a woman, breasts and butt. such as for a guy... not extra skinny but no love handles either. 'bad fat' is in all the WRONG places, such as belly, neck, legs, arms. love handles not wanted by most!
Good fats are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, as opposed to saturated fats. Likewise, "good" lipoprotein is HDL and "bad" lipoprotein is LDL. An example of a "good" (heart-healthy) fat would be olive oil. An example of a "bad" (artery-clogging) fat would be margarine.
Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are considered the good fats that raise the HDL or good cholesterol. Omega 3 which is found in certain fatty fish will do the same. The LDL or bad cholesterol should be decreased for heart health.
saturated fats are the badest
Saturated and trans fats are bad for your health (can harden the arteries, increase your risk for a heart attack or stroke, etc.), if you eat a lot of them. Unsaturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats, though, are the "good fats" and should be consumed daily.
