    It’s extremely high in saturated fat and salt, and so should be eaten sparingly. That’s not to say it can’t be a part of a balanced diet, but even a small portion provides a huge chunk of your daily requirements for each of those two, as well as for calories.

      We need salt, fat and cholesterol actually, just in sane amounts.

      Cholesterols are a whole debate too.
