Q

unsaturated fats

A
1+ double bonds
mono/poly unsaturated
melt at room temperature
are cis/bent
reduces risk of saturated fat consumption

Q

what are the essential fatty acids

A

can’t be made by body; must be eaten
we need omega 3/6
reduced choelsterol
(linoleic/linolenic acd)

Q

cold water fishes

A

best ones are like free salmon; who have more fat (as colder) and good ratio of fat (due to excersize)

17
Q

trans fatty acids

A
horrible
converted unsaturated fats by hydrogenation 
man made
solid at room tempt/soluble 
double bonds= now straight
18
Q

trans fatty acids sources

A

margarine
crisco
veggie oil

19
Q

trans fatty acids/saturated fats cons

A

block arteries= cause atherosclerosis because double bonds dont bend well

20
Q

health saturated fat?

A

lauric acid= short chain as it raises HDL (cholesterol)

found in coconuts

21
Q

HDl to LDL

A

HDL/LDL= high/low density lipoprotein

measure of good vs bad cholesterol

22
Q

lipoprotein

A

soluble protein complex that transports cholesterol in liver to cells

23
Q

why is hdl good

A

hdl carries excess cholesterol back to liver to elminate it/break it down

24
Q

steriods

A

hormones: testotestrone, cortisol, estrogel, cholesterol

25
what is cholesterol
a waxy substance procuded already in body found also in animal based products liber= produces more hcolesterol with unhealthy fat diet
26
function of cholesterol
steroid flexiliby in membrance used to make other hormones/bile/vitamin b too much of it= creates blood clots
27
risks factors for high cholesterol
age gender family health history
28
causes of high cholesteorl
``` sedentary lfiestly high sat. fat over 40 yrs poor diaetes manageament smoking/alchol ```
29
chlesterol fighting foods
``` olive oild fish/omega 3 oats fruits whole grain cereals beans/peas nuts ```
30
omega 9 sources
monounsaturated fats like olive oil, avocados, peanuts
31
omega 6 sources
corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oils
32
healthy caloric intake of lipids
20-25 %
33
phospholipids
form the phosopholipid bilayer in cell membrane | composed of a polar hydrophillic head (phosophate/glycerol) and non-polar hydrophobic tail (fatty acids)
34
phospholipid example
lecithin
35
phospholipid example sources
``` soybeans eggs milk cotton seed rapeseed/canola oild ```
36
phospholipid properties
emulsifier (chocolate bar) dietary supplement low solubliity in water
37
phospholipid pros
``` memory blood lipids reduces inflammation lowers ldl treats neurological disorder ```
38
soybeans and phospholipids
soyproducts regulated by EU due to allergns
39
smoke point
point at which an oil breaks down and produces harmful contexts
40
acrlyamide
the brown bit of frying that causes cancer
