    There are three main types of fatty acids: saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. Saturated fatty acids raise HDL and LDL cholesterol levels and are found in meat, dairy, and tropical oils. Polyunsaturated fatty acids lower HDL and LDL cholesterol and are found in vegetable oils. Monounsaturated fatty acids raise HDL and lower LDL cholesterol levels and are found in olive oil, avocados, and peanut oil. Each fatty acid type has a different effect on cholesterol levels.

    that make up fat.
    There are 3 types.

    THREE TYPES
    Saturated
    Polyunsaturated
    Monounsaturated

    Saturated
    Raises HDLs
    Raises LDLs
    Food Sources:
    Meat / Animal Sources
    Poultry Skin
    Whole Milk & Dairy Products
    Butter
    Shortening

    Polyunsaturated
    Lowers HDLs
    Lowers LDLs
    Food Sources:
    Most Vegetable Oils
    Corn Oil
    Soybean Oil
    Safflower Oil

    Monounsaturated
    Raises HDLs
    Lowers LDLs
    Food Sources:
    Olives / Olive Oil

    FATTY ACIDS &


    CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
    Each type of fatty
    acid has a
    different effect on
    cholesterol levels.

    GOOD RULE OF THUMB


    Fats that are solid at room
    temperature are made up
    mainly of saturated fatty
    acids.
    Fats that are liquid at room
    temperature are made up
    mainly of unsaturated fatty
    acids.

    HYDROGENATION
    When hydrogen atoms are added to an
    unsaturated fat to make it firmer in texture.
    (It turns liquid oil into solid fat like shortening or margarine.)

    TRANS-FATTY ACID
    Hydrogenation creates a
    new type of fatty acid
    called trans-fatty acid or
    man-made fat.
    Trans-fatty acid have many
    of the same properties as
    saturated fats.

    VISIBLE FAT
    Fat that is easily seen
    Examples: Butter on a baked potato,
    layer of fat around a pork chop, etc.

    INVISIBLE FAT

    Fat that cannot be seen


    Examples: whole milk, some cheese, egg
    yolks, nuts, avocados, etc.
