All rights reserved. Introduction Fats, Cholesterol, and Heart Health Eating well is one of the joys of life. Because you want foods that both taste good and are good for you, this cookbook offers many choices ranging from appetizers to desserts, all high in flavor but low in unhealthy nutrients including sodium, added sugars, saturated fat, and trans fat. Saturated and trans fats are dietary villains that cause blood levels of harmful low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, the “bad” cholesterol) to rise.

REDUCE YOUR RISK By changing your habits, especially your dietary and lifestyle choices, you can help reduce your level of blood cholesterol as well as other risk factors.
