I do not vouch for the accuracy of any of these and the truth is that anybody, including a government agency, can have an axe to grind. I'm just posting a few sites about fats that typical people who visit this forum are concerned about--I found these informative and interesting, and I feel like a lot of my fat questions have been answered now. Enjoy.

Descriptions of the benefits of MCT's (like the fats debated in the muscle milk discussion) http://www.1fast400.com/a31_Medium_Chain_Triglycerides.html

In-depth breakdowns to the molecular level of different types/chain lengths of fats--no so much geared toward diet as it is toward understanding chemical content and reactions w/enzymes (including the under-rated danger of trans fats). http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/fattyacids.html

More about different types of fats...chemical/molecular drawings, and more info on the MCT fats and effects of other fats (and other complex issues that work in concert with metabolism of fats, like co-q10 and carnatine)
