I don't really know why they call them "healthy fats" but I was reading the label of my order today and it says 1 serving (2 pills) contains 1/2 gram of saturated fat. That can't be good can it?

they are extremely healthy fats, and extremely good for your phsyique, regardless of whether your gaining or shredding or doing both slowly together.
-
Should I be worried about the saturated fat content?

I don't know, but I just started taking it and love it!!! Fish oil is the bomb:)

Life Extension makes one of the purest fish oils available.

Never mind I was mixing sat fats with trans fats. :D
-
Try using either Barleans or for a cheaper version of flax and Omega 369 with sesamin hit up a nutri shop for their EFA formula
-
Trans Fat???? Thatss even worse than sat fat, u must not have a brand with any quality, look into it more.

Yup, that's what I use and recommend. It's also approx twice as concentrated, so you will require less caps for an equal dose. Most products on the market are approx 30% of the active lipids -EPA/DHA- you want. LEF is twice that. Here's my personal supp stack, with LEG fish oil the first thing I mention!

sat and unsat are all good fats you just have to watch the levels in your blood. HDL and LDL are both good you just have to watch the levels.

HDL is quite good and the more the better within reason. LDL causes plaque formation and oxidizes because cells will only take up cholesterol requirements, so more lipo protein with no peripheral cholesterol uptake equals bad news. HDL participates in cetripedal transport, taking up excess cholesterol and bringing it back to the liver for destruction. Cells can up or down regulate hormone sensitive lipase, hence the reason ldl is bad in excess, some is needed for transport however. I agree with you,im just explaining it in case some members where wondering about cholesterol, as fats, cholesterol keep coming up.
