Almond butter
Almond milk
plain almonds

they are just plain good.


Good fats are not bad for you but they've been given a bad rap because they have a lot of calories. But they also are non-inflammatory, have vitamins, help your liver shed fat, do NOT raise triglycerides, and are absolutely vital to your health.

Good oils
Fish or krill oil
Lard
Butter
Coconut oil
Olive oil
walnut oil

bad oils
soybean oil
corn oil
safflower
canola
crisco
margarine
anything partially hydrogenated will be high in trans fats, which are inflammatory to your blood vessels.

vegetable oils are very high in omega-6 unsaturated fat, which is inflammatory. American diet has a ratio of 50 to 1 omega-6 to omega-3 when it should be 1 to 1, maybe 3 to 1.

If you look at a lot of cookies, cracker and snack packages, the main ingredients are: vegetable oil, HFCS, highly refined wheat or corn flour. Complete garbage that unfortunately is very tasty and apparently addictive for some people.
