What it does Polyunsaturated fats
may reduce blood pressure. Used in place of saturated fats to lower cholesterol.

Raises LDL ("bad" cholesterol), putting you at greater risk for heart disease.

These pack a "double whammy" says nutritionist Katherine Tallmadge, raising LDL in high quantities and lowering the "good" cholesterol, HDL.
How much
can you eat?
56 grams * ( two table-
spoons peanut butter + 3 ounces of salmon + one avocado + 12 almonds)
22 grams (1/2 tablespoon of
butter + one pork chop + one ounce of Cheddar cheese + two eggs)
You should minimize your intake, says Tallmadge, so do your best to stand clear.
Strategy To calculate, subtract a label's saturated fat and trans fat from total fat. Swap walnuts for crackers, olive oil for butter and fish fillets for beef steak.

Stick to lean meats or skim or low-fat milk. If your cholesterol is high, try to stay under 15 grams daily (skip the pork chop) to see improvement.

* Recommendations based on
2000 calories per day diet

Until there is a good trans-fat substitute, replace fries with potato wedges roasted with olive-oil, and indulge in store bought baked goods sparingly.
