If you're looking into Atkins, then you'll find that animal fats aren't
nearly so bad as they've been telling us. The human body requires a balance
of fats to run properly. It is, if anything, the imbalance of fats that might
be causing problems, along with the refined carbs and hydrogenated oils we've
been wolfing down because they're "low fat".
