Saturated fats are good for you. These are the healthy fats. Mono-saturated (olive oils) is also good.

i beg to differ only because i saw with my own eyes the effects of saturated fats on the interior of an aorta during a triple-A procedure done several decades back when i worked in the OR, the doctor was scooping out this orangey/yelloow-ey greazy stuff out of a splayed-open section of aorta, and i asked him "what is that greazy stuff?" to which the surgeon replied, "oh, about 5000 big macs."

Transfats are the bad fats. Big Macs are full of a lot of sugar too. 5000 of them are ill-advised. Some good, clean steak on the grill is quite fine in moderation, however, especially with a side of vegetables.

Ya, some people get mixed up between saturated and transfats.
