GreginND view log Go Far in Fargo posted: 1/21/2007 at 2:59 PM Olive oil by far. It is healthy monounsaturated fats. It actually helps to lower your cholesterol. Butter would be second, but it is saturated fat, so is not as healthy as olive oil. It can increase your cholesterol. Margarine should be avoided at all costs. It is made by hydrogenating vegetable oils. This forms the bad TRANS FATS. These are the worst for increasing risk of heart disease. Avoid anything that says "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oil.

These are ok and better than butter. Greg in Fargo My motionbased log My Running Blog 2008 Race Schedule May 17 Fargo Marathon • 4:26:02 June 15 Manitoba Marathon • 4:06:10 !! PR !!
