 | | 12 / 14 Myth 11: All fats are bad
Fact:
Many women fall into the trap of believing that all fat is automatically bad but this myth ignores the fact that there are different types of fat.
'Good' fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats play a key role in good health and are needed for to keep the brain, heart, lungs, digestive system, eyes, skin, hair and immune system in optimum condition, Mason points out.
The fat that's bad news -- trans fat. It's a man-made fat that's been linked to cardiovascular diseases and can be found in commercial baked goods such as biscuits and doughnuts. Ban trans fats from your diet. And limit your consumption of saturated fats.
