Despite the fact that too much fat can be harmful, a moderate fat intake is actually
essential to the maintenance of good health. Some of the symptoms of fat deficiency include
flaking skins, emaciation, reduced functioning of the immune systems, and fertility problems.
Recent studies have linked fat free diets to increase stress aggression, and note that those who
try to eliminate fat completely from their food intake may be at risk for developing eating
disorders: a small amount of fat in a meal will produce a feeling of satiety which lasts much
longer than the sensation of fullness produced by protein or carbon hydrates.
At least two teaspoons of fat per day is needed in order for the digestive system to absorb
vitamins A, D, E and K, which are fat soluble. These vitamins are essential for healthy hair,
skin, teeth and eyes. Without the ability to absorb these vitamins, children run the risk of
developmental and neurological disorders. Adults need these vitamins to manufacture fertility
hormones.
Some types of fat actually help to reduce harmful cholesterol levels. Polyunsaturated fats
like chicken fat and olive oil, seem to lower blood cholesterol, while saturated fats-those found
in red meat, dairy products and tropical oils-seem to raise the level of the kind of cholesterol
which accumulates as plaque on arterial walls. Paying attention to the type of fat consumed if
just as important as reducing total fat intake.
