You gotta have fat, on that we all agree. Our bodies need a certain amount of fat in order to function properly. But how much? And what kind? That's where the consensus breaks down.

But the perplexed layperson (i.e., me) has a hard time getting a straight answer when it comes to how much fat is really good for us, and which fats are the most beneficial.
