<p>The American Heart Association says: &ldquo;The major kinds of fats in the foods we eat are saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and trans fatty acids. Saturated fats, trans fats, and dietary cholesterol raise blood cholesterol. A high level of cholesterol in the blood is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, which leads to heart attack.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Saturated fats come from animals. In Leviticus 7:22&ndash;24 we are told, &ldquo;And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.&rdquo;</p>
