Reply from sabina, Age 16 - 10/28/06 - IP#: 69.118.233.xxx unsaturated fats are what you want. they help maintain your HDL or good cholesterol. LDL or your bad cholesterol that can cause heart attacks are lowered by your HDL cholesterol. Transfats and saturated fats are bad for your heart because they increase your bad cholesterol levels. transfats are worse than saturated fats because they can lower your good cholesterol levels. try and avoid transfats and saturated fats in your diet.hope this helped
