Types of FatsTypes of Fats

Saturated Fats: Solid at room temperature; Very stable even under high temperatures; Found in animal products and tropical oils

Unsaturated Fats:Liquid at room temperature and when refrigerated; highly unstable especially in light and heat; Come mainly from vegetable sources.

1. Monounsaturated: More stable; Solidify when refrigerated. Olive Oil

2. Polyunsaturated: Less stable, rancified when cooked. Essential: Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids

Research Says…Research Says…

Modern diets can contain as much as 30% of calories as polyunsaturated oils, but scientific research indicates that this amount is far too high.

Excess consumption of polyunsaturated oils has been shown to contribute to a large number of disease conditions including increased cancer and heart disease; immune system dysfunction; damage to the liver, reproductive organs and lungs; digestive disorders; depressed learning ability; impaired growth; and weight gain.

The best evidence indicates that our intake of polyunsaturates should not be much greater than 4% of the caloric total, in approximate proportions of 1 1/2 % omega-3 linolenic acid and 2 1/2 % omega-6 linoleic acid.

EFA consumption in this range is found in native populations in temperate and tropical regions whose intake of polyunsaturated oils comes from the small amounts found in legumes, grains, nuts, green vegetables, fish, olive oil and animal fats but not from commercial vegetable oils
