We\\u2019ve been taught to think of fats and oils as a necessary evil\\u2014the unhealthy part of anything we eat and the stuff needed to keep food from sticking to the pot. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Fat is essential for health, but it\\u2019s also confusing. There are so many different kinds of fat; some, we are told, are good, and some are bad. So, what\\u2019s actually true?

In today\\u2019s episode of my series I\\u2019m calling Health Bites, I am talking all about fats and oils\\u2014which ones you should be eating, and which ones you need to avoid for optimal health.
