Fats in fast foods (not hidden really) Healthy fats in foods not all fat is bad must be in diet. Drinks, body digests and eats food vs. drinks very differently. Does not pick up" calories in liquids. Simple: 95% are triglycerides (dietary fat / storage fat in body) Stored in adipose (fat) and skeletal muscle (marble in steak) Predominant fuel source for aerobic energy system: generally, from plant, liquid at room temp. Saturated fat: animal sources (some plant exceptions: coconut oil, solid at room temp, linked with increases cholesterol levels, us guidelines reduce. Omega 3 fatty acid = heart healthy (long chain polyunsaturated) Sources: cold deep water fish (raw bitter), almonds/walnuts, flax seed oil. Benefits: stabilize heart rhythm, decrease sudden cardiac death by 50%, decrease blood clots, lowers triglyceride and reduce inflation. Trans fatty acids (crisco liquid) no safe level all damage. Unsaturated fats -> saturated with hydrogen ions -> increases shelf life and flavor + stability.
