Fat – The truth about fat in food.
Fat comes from two sources, animal or vegetable. Both types contain a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
Saturated fats contain mainly saturated fatty acids and are derived mainly from animal fats. They are solid at room temperature. Exceptions to this are coconut and palm oil which solidify but are vegetable oils; however they are very high in saturated fats.
Unsaturated fats contain mainly unsaturated fatty acids and are derived mainly from fish and vegetable oils which are liquid at room temperature. These fats are broken into two types – polyunsaturates which are cod liver, sunflower, corn and soya oil and monounsaturates which are olive, rapeseed, groundnut, hazelnut and sesame oil.
Heart disease if often related to fat intake. People with high levels of cholesterol are at greater risk and these levels can be increased by the intake of certain fatty acids. Saturated fats increase blood cholesterol and unsaturated fats can decrease cholesterol. Unsaturated fats can also help with arthritis, eczema, psoriasis and menstrual problems.
