Answer 2

This depends on the circumstances. In the Arctic, the Inuit eat animal fat and raw meat on a regular basis and do not get excessively obese like mos people do. In an environment where it is very cold, animal fat and raw meat is necessary to keep the body warm and functioning properly in such a harsh environment.

Eating too much animal fat for most regular people who do not live in the Arctic can make a person fat if they do not exercise regularly and accompany that high-fat diet with lots and lots of carbohydrates--specifically, but not limited to, processed-grain foods such as pasta, Pizza, pastries, baked goods, chocolate bars, soda/pop drinks, anything that has a high sugar or high carb nutritional value. For many people, if you take out that part of the diet which has high sugar and high carbs and replace it with lots of vegetables, a healthy serving of meat and animal fat, you will not get fat: as a matter of fact, you will lose weight in the form of fat on such a diet.

One can say that it is a myth that animal fat is bad for you. Animal fat does not contribute to Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or any other disease associated with obesity nearly as much as a high-carb diet does. Carbohydrates are really starch, which is energy. Starch (energy) gets converted into sugar through enzymatic processes, which get stored into fat because the body does not need that excess sugar. The more carbs one eats, and the less time they use up that energy, the more weight they gain. You wonder why athletes need to have a big helping of pasta before a game? It's because they need the energy content in that pasta to help them do as well as they do.

Answer 3

Within lipids the rule to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated fat is the state with in which it is in: i.e. solid or liquid where liquids are unsaturated and solids saturated.

Or, more simply, oils are unsaturated and solid fats, e.g. fat on meat or butter, are saturated. So as you can imagine fish contains a lot of oil and is therefore mostly unsaturated fat but of course fish contain some saturated fat for insulation, but it is comparatively low.

Answer 4

Yes, Animals do have saturated fat as do the products of animals such as cheese, milk and yogurt.

Answer 5

Meat is not saturated fat but it contains saturated fat.

Answer 6

Animals produce both saturated and unsaturated fats. Most products derived from animals such as meats, cheese, and milk, will usually contain a higher content of saturated fats.

Answer 7

Yes. Beef fat is a good example of a saturated fat.

Answer 8

yes.
