Answer 1

Types of Fats
Fats are found in foods of both animal and plant origins. The fat content of food is always reported in grams. Fat is the densest form of food we eat. Each gram of fat, whether it is saturated, polyunsaturated or monounsaturated, contains nine (9) calories, while carbohydrates and proteins contain only four (4) calories per gram. If you limit the amount of fat in your diet, you will also most likely lose weight.

There are three types of fat that comes from food. All three are found in foods that come from animals or plants, but the amount varies. As a rule, more saturated fat is found in animal than vegetable foods, where more polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are found in vegetables than animal foods.

Saturated Fats
Cholesterol is also found in foods from animals. Saturated fat is mainly found in foods of animal origin, but some vegetables also have large amounts. These are called saturated vegetable fats and are often found in processed bakery goods and nondairy milk or cream substitutes. These are:

•Coconut Oil •Cocoa Butter (Chocolate) •Palm Kernel Oil •Palm Oil

As a rule of thumb when shopping, saturated fats are solid at room temperature. When you have a lot of saturated fat in your diet, your liver responds by making more cholesterol. This raises your blood cholesterol level. It is the most harmful type of fat you can eat.

Polyunsaturated Fats
Polyunsaturated fats come mainly from plants. They are liquid at room temperature. Eating polyunsaturated fat can reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Monounsaturated Fats
Monounsaturated fats are mainly found in foods that come from plants. They are liquid at room temperature and can reduce blood cholesterol levels, but less than polyunsaturated fats do. They can, however, raise HDL cholesterol (the “good” kind of cholesterol) levels. See Risk Factor section in this book.
