5. All fats are evil

You may have heard of the concept of good (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) fats and bad (unsaturated and trans) fats. Bad fats that you should avoid as they increase your bad cholesterol are found in animal fat and partially or fully hydrogenated oils like dalda and vanaspati.

Good fats are found in foods like walnuts, almonds, peanuts, salmon, soy and sunflower oils. These are good for the body and aid in weight loss.
