Are you eating damaged fats?

Fat is one of the body’s most basic building blocks. The average person is made up of between 15 and 30 percent fat, and we need fat and cholesterol for creating hormones, such as: sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone); adrenal hormones (cortisol that regulates metabolism); and steroid hormones and prostaglandins.; however, it is not only important that we choose the right kind of fat coming from whole foods but also that we don't damage these fats.
