The November 2025 edition of Nutrition Times explains the benefits of healthy fats in your diet along with fats to reduce.
The newsletter provides an overview of dietary fats, clarifying that they are essential nutrients the body needs for energy and vitamin absorption. It categorizes fats into three main types—unsaturated, saturated, and trans-fat—and encourages consumers to choose unsaturated fats more often. A significant portion of the text focuses on omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fats, explaining that both are essential, though omega-3 is less common in typical diets. The article advocates for obtaining omega-3 from whole foods like fatty fish and flaxseeds, while also addressing common misconceptions about seed oils and the role of omega-3 supplements. Finally, it offers practical shopping tips for choosing products with healthy fats and lower saturated fat content.
