What is the difference between fat and cholesterol?
Fat and cholesterol are both types of lipids, but they serve different functions in the body. Fat is a macronutrient that provides energy and helps with nutrient absorption, while cholesterol is a type of lipid that is essential for building cell membranes and producing hormones. Fat can be found in foods like oils, butter, and meat, while cholesterol is mainly produced by the liver but can also be consumed through animal products. Consuming too much saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease.
Why is unsaturated fat considered healthy fat?
It does not contribute to raising "bad" cholesterol levels like saturated fats do. High "bad" cholesterol levels contribute to heart disease. There is some evidence that high saturated fat intake is associated with increased rates of cancer as well.
How does intake of unsaturated saturated and trans fats affect cholesterol levels and overall health?
Yes. Dietary cholesterol levels have only a modest impact on blood cholesterol levels, whereas saturated fats increase cholesterol synthesis in the liver. Limit your saturated fat and cholesterol intake as part of a sensible diet to reduce your risk of heart attack and stoke.
