These are the biggest dietary cause of high LDL levels ("bad cholesterol"). When looking at a food label, pay very close attention to the percentage of saturated fat and avoid or limit any foods that are high. Saturated fat should be limited to 10% of calories. Saturated fats are found in animal products such as butter, cheese, whole milk, ice cream, cream, and fatty meats. They are also found in some vegetable oils -- coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils. (Note: Most other vegetable oils contain unsaturated fat and are healthy.)
UNSATURATED FATS
Fats that help to lower blood cholesterol if used in place of saturated fats. However, unsaturated fats have a lot of calories, so you still need to limit them. Most (but not all) liquid vegetable oils are unsaturated. (The exceptions include coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils.) There are two types of unsaturated fats:
- Monounsaturated fats: Examples include olive and canola oils.
- Polyunsaturated fats: Examples include fish, safflower, sunflower, corn, and soybean oils.
TRANS FATTY ACIDS
These fats form when vegetable oil hardens (a process called hydrogenation) and can raise LDL levels. They can also lower HDL levels ("good cholesterol"). Trans fatty acids are found in fried foods, commercial baked goods (donuts, cookies, crackers), processed foods, and margarines.
HYDROGENATED AND PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED FATS
This refers to oils that have become hardened (such as hard butter and margarine). Partially hydrogenated means the oils are only partly hardened. Foods made with hydrogenated oils should be avoided because they contain high levels of trans fatty acids, which are linked to Heart disease. (Look at the ingredients in the food label.)

What food groups are healthy?
That depends on the type of food as much as what food group it is from.If you consume good natural sources (unprocessed plants and animals), then fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water are generally all healthy.Look at the food triangle chart and it will give u a good idea...
Why do they put trans fats into foods?
To give the food a longer shelf life and it holds the food together.
What are the food materials plant give?
Plants provide Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins etc as food material to us.
What are the three basic food sources during isolation?
The three basic food sources during isolation are typically grains, legumes, and fats. Grains like rice and oats provide essential carbohydrates for energy, while legumes such as beans and lentils offer protein and fiber. Fats, including oils and nuts, are crucial for calorie density and nutrient absorption. Together, these food sources can sustain individuals by meeting their macronutrient needs during challenging times.
How many fats are there in 135 calories?
Fats are not in calories but in food. Food nutrients (and fats are one of them) usually have calories.
What are the two main sources of food energy?
The two main sources of food energy are carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which provides a quick source of energy, while fats are broken down into fatty acids and provide a more sustained source of energy.
What has Fats?
