Face the Fats!

NOT ALLFATS

ARE THESAME

The "bad" fats, saturated fats and transfats, raise "bad" cholesterol levels inyour blood and increase your risk ofdeveloping heart disease. The "better"fats, monounsaturated fats andpolyunsaturated fats, can help lowerblood cholesterol levels when theyreplace saturated and trans fats in thediet and may lower your risk ofdeveloping heart disease when they areconsumed in moderation.

Fewer than half of Americans knowthat the "better" fats

(monounsaturatedand polyunsaturated) can help reduce

their risk of heart disease.
