Let's assume that she is talking about cholesterol-related risk factors, since that is the only thing even remotely related to gravy. It is suggested, to lower cholesterol, that people should avoid saturated fats.
In a 3oz serving of homemade white gravy, there is approximately 2g of total fats. This is 2.9% of the RDA for adult women. But unsaturated fats are irrelevant, so let's look at saturated fats only. The total amount of saturated fat in homemade white gravy is...
