But now we know that not all fat is the same. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in your diet, you can improve your mood, boost your energy and well-being, and even lose weight. Since fat is an important part of a healthy diet, rather than adopting a low-fat diet, it’s more important to focus on eating more beneficial “good” fats and limiting harmful “bad” fats. What is their experience with the health risks associated with ‘bad fat’ intake for example obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, etc.? Why is eating healthy so important? What are are recommendations for maintaining a healthy diet of ‘good fats’? What's the deal with fats?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about soybean oil? Select one: a. Soybean oil is rich in polyunstaruated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and a-linoleic acid. These two fatty acids are essential to human health and play a critical role in human development b. Synthetic antioxidant compounds such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are used to increase the stability of mono- unstaurated fatty acids in soybean oil and delay oxidation c. Soybean oil is a known anti inflammatory as it is primarily composed of high levels of oleic mono- unsaturated fatty acids d. Soybean oil is unstable and prone to lipid oxidation so is unfit for human consumption and is only used in manufacturingarrow_forward
