Who can deny it? We love greasy food for some
reason, most of our food relays on greasy materials full of fats, but we should
be aware of their effects on our body.
Fats are the main responsible of heart
diseases, blood pressure and other lethal diseases.
So isn’t it better to avoid them? Well the
answer is always yes, but what comes next is a harder question, what are the
substitutes?
