There are many foods that contain CSI-fats. For monounsaturated cis-fats, the foods include: avocados, canola oil, eggs, cashews, ground beef, bacon and olives. For polyunsaturated cis-fats, they would include: flaxseed, pine nuts, salmon, smelt, walnuts and soybeans.

What is the definition of Saturated fat?
With organic compounds, you can have carbon atoms bonded together with single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds. If all of the carbon bonds in a fat are single bonds, the fat is saturated. If one of the bonds is a double bond, it is mono-unsaturated. If more than one bond is unsaturated, it is polyunsaturated. Sometimes industries add hydrogen to a double bond and make it hydrogenated. They can add it in one of two ways. They can make it a trans fat or they can make it a cis fat. Nature also hydrogenates fats. Nature makes cis fats. Your body has no problem with cis fats. Nature does not make trans fats. Your body has problems with trans fats. Industries can produce cis fats but find it easier to produce trans fats. Making trans fats illegal will force them to make cis fats.
What is hydrogenation and why is it done?
Hydrogenation is the proccess that makes unsaturated fat have characteristics of saturated fat. During the process the shape of the fat molecule changes for cis to trans form. This process increases the risk of heart disease.
Why 13-cis lycopene more stable than 7-cis and 11-cis?
Because the molecular energy is higher in the 13-cis than 7 & 11-cis.

What is cis fat?
The basic building block of "fat" are fatty acids. Cis is a term used in chemistry and other sciences. Below is the definition of cis from Answers.com cis-pref. # On this side: cisatlantic. # Having a pair of identical atoms or groups on the same side of a plane that passes through two carbon atoms linked by a double bond. Used of a geometric isomer: cis-2-butene. [Latin, from cis, on this side of.] In an effort to answer "Cis Fat", the description below is cut and pasted from Answers.com for "Unsaturated fatty acid" Hopefully this helps:-) unsaturated fatty acid A http://www.answers.com/topic/fatty-acid that contains one (monounsaturated) or more (polyunsaturated) double bonds between carbon atoms. Each double bond takes the place of one hydrogen atom. In cis fatty acids, the two hydrogen atoms adjacent to a double bond are on the same side. This imposes a kink in the molecule making cis unsaturated fatty acids less easy to pack together. Consequently, cis unsaturated fats are usually liquid (oil) at room temperature. In trans-unsaturated fatty acids, the two hydrogen atoms adjacent to a double bond are on opposite sides, enabling the atoms to pack more closely together and giving the trans unsaturated fatty acids physical properties similar to saturated fatty acids. Eating large amounts of foods with high levels of trans unsaturated fatty acids is generally regarded as more detrimental to health than eating comparable amounts of food containing cis unsaturated fatty acids.
