ASK A DIETICIAN, ONE IN A SERIES ON THE BACK OF OUR BOXES. Good Fats, Bad Fats and Your Health. Dietary fats have gotten a bad rap for some time, but the truth of the matter is that we humans not only like the taste of fat, we also need it - to supply energy and aid in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins. The Problem with Fat. But as useful as fat may be to your body, many clinical studies have clearly demonstrated that diets high in cholesterol and saturated fats are associated with a higher risk of heart disease and some cancers. Good Guys vs. Bad Guys. Equally true, recent clinical studies have shown that some fats are bad for your health while others can actually be good for you. Dietary fat is essentially made of three kinds of triglycerides: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Research has demonstrated that limiting saturated fat and increasing monounsaturated fats can be beneficial - hence the description "good" fat. Flaxseeds, like those in FlaxPlus, are one the richest plant sources of Omega-3s; 41% of the seed is oil, of which 57% is Omega-3 and 16% is Omega-6. Plus, 20% of the seed is protein, and 28% is fiber. ABOUT THE AUTHOR. Tamara Schryver is a registered dietitian with a Masters degree in nutrition. She has worked with patients in both the hospital and public health sector, and has a professional interest in nutrition education. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are two kinds of polyunsaturates that, if consumed in the right ratio, appear to be health promoting. How Much is Enough? Nutritional guide-lines recommend no more than 30% of your calories come from fats. For a typical 2,000 calorie diet, that translates to 65 grams of fat. Your challenge is to make sure most of these are monounsaturated or polyunsaturated "good" fats. 10% or less of your total calories should be from "bad" or saturated fats. That's a maximum of 20 grams per day. Considering that one cup of a premium ice cream can whomp you with 23 grams of saturated fat, you have your work cut out for you! - by Tamara Schryver, MS RD.
