"So long, trans fat. The Food and Drug Administration has decided to ban this artery-clogging substance from foods, calling it unsafe for consumption and a major public health concern. Proven to contribute to diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease, trans fat has been under fire for more than a decade, and many food manufacturers and restaurants have already ousted it. But a government-ordered phaseout is another huge step in a healthier direction. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claims that further decreasing the amount of trans fat Americans consume can prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths every year.\r\nEven though the ban's been set in motion, it'll take years before trans fat goes away completely.

While some kinds, like trans fat, are basically heart-harming garbage, other fats are very healthy, even necessary for the body to function properly &amp;ndash; as long as you don't overindulge.
