Concept of 'fat' is changing


Thinking of 'fat' related to food, more and more people shift towards olive oil on a dressing and grilled salmon instead of greasy hamburgers and the like.

For instance, the polyunsaturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids in foods such as salmon, walnuts, olive oil and canola oil are linked to preventing heart disease, certain cancers and even depression and Alzheimer's disease.
Many Americans are a bit foggy on the dietary details . The food council survey found that while 75 percent of people correctly said they should be eating less trans fat and saturated fats, a troubling 42 percent incorrectly thought they were supposed to eat less polyunsaturated fat, too.
