Poison?

I think not.

Our bodies need fats and oils as sources for fatty acids, which in turn are used as energy storage, as structural components in cells, and in constructing hormones. They also contain some important fat-soluble vitamins.

Someone once said Americans are more afraid of fat than we are of nuclear war. This is unnecessary!

As part of a calorie managed diet, fats are fine. In fact, we would die without them. 

The real problem is that Americans are more afraid of moderation than they are even of fats....
