Monounsaturated fats (found in foods such as pumpkin seeds, sesame seed, cashews, almonds, avocado, olive oil and olives) and polyunsaturated fats (found in foods such as fish, sunflower-seed and plant oils, safflower, soy and corn) are good for you. Saturated fats (often found in red meats and processed, prepackaged foods) are bad for you. Also trans fat is bad for you. Most food packages in the US today will say if the product contains trans fat or not. Please see the Related link below for more information.
