"Face the Fats" to protect your heart health

Trans fats, saturated fats, unsaturated fats, poly and monounsaturated fats, good fats, bad fats...not only are there a lot of different kinds of fats, there are also recommendations of how much of each kind to eat -- and to not eat -- each day. We know we should avoid some kinds of fats, but how much is too much?

The American Heart Association is here to help with their new Face the Fats campaign. Their new website offers a crash course on fats, including how to cook with them correctly at home. They've also developed My Fats Translator which will tell you the maximum amount of each fat you should eat each day and applies that information to food choices. (For instance, while a deep dish pizza may sound fun, you can cut the fat in half by ordering a thin crust.)

And for a little extra fun, check out The Bad Fats Brothers -- named "Trans" and "Sat" -- who are out to "break your heart." It's an informative, colorful, stylish campaign that will hopefully help spread the word on the danger of eating too much fat.
