Good Fats: About Monounsaturated fats

Monounsaturated fats are fatty acids; and are often referred to as good or healthy fats. Unsaturated fats help reduce blood cholesterol when they replace saturated fats in the diet. There are two types of unsaturated fat: monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat.

Monounsaturated fatty acids promote insulin resistance and lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, while raising HDL (good) cholesterol.
