A recent report conducted by Harvard medical school and published by the BBC, reveals that replacing fats obtained from animal products with fats obtained from vegetables products can decrease a persons chances of a cardiac event by 20%.
Fats from animal meat, specially what are termed trans-fats, can be detrimental to heart health. In contrast, the fats from vegetables, commonly referred to as polyunsaturated fats, can be found in vegetables. These fats remain liquid at room temperature, and have not been found to have the same detrimental effects on health commonly seen in animal fats.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8580899.stm
