I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the “Olive Oil Baking: Healthy Recipes That Increase Good Cholesterol and Reduce Saturated Fats” cookbook by Lisa A. Sheldon, who holds a Masters in Clinical Nutrition from UMass Amherst here in Massachusetts.
There is a relatively brief and to-the-point discussion at the front of the book on the various types of fats we eat, including trans fatty acids, saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats.
