Top 20 Foods High In Saturated Fat That Are Actually Good For You

Saturated fat is a fatty acid is saturated when all available carbon bonds are occupied by a hydrogen atom. 

The American Heart Association recommends aiming for a dietary pattern that achieves 5 percent to 6 percent of calories from saturated fat.

Saturated fats play an important role in the integrity of our cell walls as well as inside the cell at the mitochondrial level. Without this type of fats, our cell walls would lack the structure needed for us to survive.

According to one of the foremost research experts in dietary fats and human health, Dr. Mary Enig, Ph.D. saturated fat is also needed for calcium to be effectively incorporated into bone.

It is now understood that saturated fats do not create high LDL and total cholesterol, do not contribute to heart disease, do not draw from the body's reserves of antioxidants, are not cancer-causing, and do not clog arteries.

Moreover, recent research confirms that saturated fat is innocent, concluding that there is no association between saturated fat and risk of cardiovascular disease.

However, the worst type of dietary fat is the kind known as trans fat. It is a byproduct of a process called hydrogenation which is used to turn healthy oils into solids and to prevent them from becoming rancid.
