Considering that the calories per serving of just the corned beef is 820
calories, 61% of which is from fat, I wouldn't worry about that little extra
fat you're eating. I'll bet you're eating more than a 4 ounce serving as
well, so most likely at least doubling those figures. One serving also has
3629mg of salt.

Hope you have a good cardiologist.
