Ah, thank you...typo! Lay off the trans/saturated fats. Poly and mono are fine. Don't worry about peanutbutter, olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, cashews, almonds, peanuts, most other nuts, avocados, corn, soybean, safflower, cottonseed oils, and fish. The liquid fats (mono and poly) are usually the better ones, as they can lower LDL and raise HDL cholesterol. Sorry about the confusion.
