there are no such things as 'bad' fats.

You need saturated fats just as much as you need polysaturated fats to SURVIVE. By eating ANY fat in excess, it will be converted to the same end product for storage. You CAN get fat from poly or monosaturated fats.

Please do your homework. If something is bad for you, it's called a poison. And fats in general clearly aren't poisons. The 'bad' fats are fats that while still are essential to our health, are ones that should not be consumed in massive proportions like many people do. It's having a balanced diet that makes you healthy, not shunning a whole food group based on misconceptions.

If you eat too many carrots, you can get a vitamin overload and get orange fingernails as a result. Too much of a good thing is bad.
