the high cholesterol levels run in my family.

Sat fats appear to be second bad, but you are right,not all saturated fats are raising blood cholesterol levels. A few are neutral in terms of raising blood cholesterol and tend to be why certain sat fats may not be that bad.

Omega 3s are excellent but not all omegas are the same either. EPA and DHA are the algae (marine) omegas that have the most potential for reducing sudden death from heart diseaes, whereas ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) probably does not have those same benefits.

Even separate from that, the Mediterranean diet is clearly associated with prolonged life and reduced cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks, stroke, and high blood pressure.

It tends to move cholesterol levels in the right direction for prevention of cardiovascular disease. Even if it didn’t, the Mediterranean diet is clearly associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, which include heart attacks, high blood pressure, and strokes.

What are your thoughts on trans fats and omega 3s?

I think that there is also a difference between types of saturated fats. It may be beyond the scope of this post, but do you see any differences between trans fats, beef fat, coconut fat…?
