How does a low fat diet effect the body? How is coal oil or natural gas used in generating electricity? How do saturated and unsaturated fats differ? Discuss bonding patterns and possible sources of these fats.
What is saturated fat's structure?FatsFats, like fatty acids, have a long chain made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms, called the hydrocarbon tail. Sometimes this looks like a zig zag on a molecule. Each point has a carbon and two hydrogen atoms if it is in the middle of the zig zag...
If I were to ask you what is the most damaging thing to cardiovascular health, I would lay a bet that most of you would say ‘saturated fat’. It has been the dietary devil for decades. It was the focal point of every healthy eating campaign in the 80’s and 90’s. Then in recen...
Fat is a broad term that refers to a group of natural substances found in animals and plants, playing crucial roles in nutrition and biology as sources of energy, in cellular structure, and in the regulation of bodily functions. Fats are composed of triglycerides and can be solid or liquid ...
Cholesterol is a type of fat that our bodies produce. Your liver makes all the cholesterol you need. Cholesterol is also found in foods of animal origin, such as meat, poultry, and dairy products, and if you eat a diet high in saturated fats, the liver will make even more cholesterol....

higher intakes of saturated fat are not associated with a higher risk of heart disease. (3) But is this true for people with certain genes that make them “hyper-absorbers” of saturated fat and lead to asignificant increase in LDL particle number(a marker associated with greater risk of ca...
HFD-fed rodents are often compared against control-diet-fed rodents in which a grain-based ‘chow’ diet made primarily from corn, wheat, oats and soybeans provides basic nutrition.20 Some researchers have made HFDs by simply adding fat to grain-based chow, but this chow-based HFD is not ...

Understanding the interactions between intestinal microbiota, chronic inflammation, cellular stress, and aging is essential to developing therapies aimed at reducing inflammation and slowing age-related diseases in PWH. In this review, we discuss critical knowledge gaps and highlight the therapeutic potentia...
