More on trans fat can be found in my videos Blocking the First Step of Heart Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/blocking-the-first-step-of-heart-disease/) and Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-survival-and-trans-fat/). 

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-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/). 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-fertility-and-diet/).

While unrefined oils such as extra virgin olive should not contain trans fats, to boost the absorption (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/forego-fat-free-dressings/) 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-virgin-olive-oil-vs-nuts/)
• Deep Frying Toxins (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/deep-frying-toxins/)
