Do you really think so ? fat is really dangerous to the human body but eating food that does not contains fat is not possible... Every food have smaller percentage of fat therein but there are some food that are 80% fat and in this case it is not advisable for you to take in such as it can increase weight gains,,, you cannot take it out entirely.
