[According to Harvard Medical School](https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/the-truth-about-fats-bad-and-good), these types of fats help you absorb vitamins

Avacado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, palm oils, & lard.

Without good fat the “healfulness” can slip away.

Grains in general are a very questionable supplement to a human diet, corn for instance slides right through the body, like at a water park, unless we PRE-process some of the grains they are not broken down well during the digestion process.

At the end of the day, some believe if the GOVERNMENT says it’s healthy then it’s healthy or if the MEDIA says something is healthy then it’s healthy. If you really want to know what is healthy for YOU, as i_am_the_cattle mentioned, learn about biology/digestion. From the knowledge you gain you can start modifying your diet by removing unnecessary (unhealthy) components.
