Title: Are all saturated fats equally bad for my health?
Post by: rob van valen on 08/06/2010 10:30:02
rob van valen  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hello,

My favourite podcast! (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/)  Â 

They say that eating saturated fat is detrimental to your health.  HDL is better than LDL.  Is there a difference between saturated fats?  

Say I consistently eat straight chicken fat versus pork fat (or other types), is one worse than the other?

Best,
