We've been eating most fats long before heart disease and cancer was prevelant. I'm a strong believer that it's the artifical fats (the one's that everyone told you were good for you - like margarine or mayo) such as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated (trans fats) - are the ones doing the damage - and they're in A TON of stuff we eat.

I think there are good fats. Because fat is so calorie-dense, it's easy to take in more than you can utilize (hence adds to fat problem - more from too many calories than the fat itself).

You want to be concerned about "fat" for other reasons. Read this and understand it: http://www.qfac.com/articles/dioxins.html . THERE'S NO WAY FOR YOUR BODY TO GET RID OF THIS!!!!! This is NOT like so many bad things that cause "free-radical" damage, which there are plenty of good anti-oxidants that will take care of this. I've been told about dioxins before, but after reading about it THIS TIME (AGAIN), it really hit home.

This Mercola article is full of so many inaccuracies it made me too upset to finish it to see if had any good conclusion.

Well it can't:

Good arguments require valid statements and practically every one I read is wrong.
