Hi - on the MFP nutrition page why doesn't total fat = sat + poly + mono + trans fats?

    Most nutrition labels only list total fat and sat fat, therefore most database entries don't contain the additional information either, because the database is largely user-generated.

    Ok thanks - so I guess the difference is poly and mono which has not been listed on the food label?
