After many years of misinformation on animal fats being bad the FDA has admitted that heart problems is caused from the oils and not the fats and actually the fats are healthy. I do not skim the fats but I never eat it cold.
I don't know what to believe anymore, info changes so I go by my body. Living 6 yrs in Hungary I ate everything that was bad for me, all the bad fats, etc. when I came back to the states my bad cholesterol was sky high and my good was low. After a year of getting back to eating healthy my numbers are good and have remained good.
