Saturated fat and TransFat
All saturated fats are considered unhealthy because three chain lengths of saturated fatty acid raise total cholesterol slightly. This is a mistake not supported by research. Trans fats are also regarded as unhealthy and the scientific evidence affirms the belief.
Animal products contain saturated fats, which are found in foods like meat, poultry, and dairy products. Some animal fats also contain small amounts of trans fats, which are considered unhealthy. It's important to consume animal fats in moderation to maintain a balanced diet.
The polyunsaturated fats are considered now as healthful.
The most unhealthy food for kids are foods high in saturated fats or foods that contain high levels of salt and sugar .e.g.Fast FoodsSweetsChocolate
Meat fats are generally classified as "saturated" where as plant fats are "poly- or monounsaturated." The body utilized poly- and monounsatuated fats as an energy source more readily than saturated fats, which the body tends to store.
No, carbohydrates are entirely different from saturated fats.
You are probably referring to "trans" fats. These refer to hydrogenated fats (oils that have added hydrogen through chemical processing and remain solid at room temperature), and their severely unhealthy nature is undisputed.
Solid fats have a high proportion of saturated fats.
Yes, but it is good saturated fats (monounsaturated fats).
Saturated fatty acids are formed from carbon to carbon single bonds. These molecules are typically solid at room temperature and are commonly found in animal fats and some plant oils. Consuming too many saturated fats can increase the risk of heart disease.
Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.
