Julie doesn't know a lot about anything. She is just as likely to be
wrong as right. It's a crapshoot.

The really good fats are olive oil, and the newfangled "high-oleic"
oils, especially high-oleic sunflower oil, and shea butter. The
second tier are the good oils; pecan, avocado, cashew, canola and
maybe a couple of others. The neutral fats are cocoa butter and
peanut oil. Some folks would lump coconut and palm kernel in as
neutral, but I wouldn't. I'd put them in the somewhat bad category
with animal fats. Below that are the bad fats; palm fruit oil
(usually just called palm oil), and the high polyunsaturate oils like
soy, corn, safflower, cottonseed, etc. Then there are the villainous
partially hydrogenated fats, which are unfit for consumption.

There is another type of fatty acid, Omega-3. This is the stuff in
wild caught salmon, sardines, etc. It is great in moderation, but bad
in excess.

There are a few other categories as well, but I doubt anyone wants me
to go into more detail.
