Nut 2202 nutrition and health: introduction to the lipids. **most abundant type of food fat*: phospholipids lipid + phosphorous with backbone of glycerol, cholesterol building block for different things, categories in food, fats versus oils. Solid vs liquid depends on what tags involved: composition of solid fats and liquid oils both made of triacylglycerols. * polyunsaturated fatty acids: two or more double bonds: health implications. * saturated fatty acids: raise ldl-c or unfavorably impact tl-c to hdl-c concentration, promote cholesterol synthesis, promote cvd. * monounsaturated fatty acids: lower ldl-c concentrations or have a favorable impact on tl-c to hdl-c ratio, lower blood tag concentration, do not lower hdl-c concentration, promote heart health. * polyunsaturated fatty acids: lower ldl-c concentration or have a favorable impact on. Tl-c to hdl-c ratio, lower blood tags, promote heart health: an optimal tl-c to hdl-c radio is <3. 5 mg of tl-c to 1. 0 mg of hdl-c higher, dietary sources.
