Fat in your food

The two main types of fat found in food are saturated and unsaturated. Most foods  
have a mix of both. Together, the two are called total fat. Why should you be concerned
about saturated fat? Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol the most. Over time, this
extra cholesterol can  clog your arteries. You are then at risk for having a heart attack
or stroke.  

Where is saturated fat found?  
Saturated fat is found mostly in foods that come from animals. These include:   

  • Fatty cuts of meat  
  • Beef  
  • Lamb  
  • Pork
  • Poultry with skin
  • Whole and 2% milk
  • Butter
  • Cheese
  • Lard

A high content of saturated fat can be found in some foods that come from plants  
such as:

  • Palm kernel oil
  • Palm oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Cocoa butter
