More on trans fat can be found in my videos Blocking the First Step of Heart Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/block...) and Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breas....

There may also be no safe intake of dietary cholesterol, which underscores the importance of reducing animal product consumption. See my video Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans.... Speaking of which, I'm going to be addressing the role of saturated fat and declining sperm counts in my next video, Male Fertility and Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/male-....

While unrefined oils such as extra virgin olive should not contain trans fats, to boost the absorption (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/foreg...) of carotenoids in your salad why not add olives themselves or whole food sources of fat such as nuts or seeds? Other videos on oils include:

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil vs. Nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/extra...)
• Deep Frying Toxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/deep-...)
• The True Shelf-Life of Cooking Oils (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-t...)
