Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The truth about saturated fat
First time in human history, more people die
from obesity than from starvation. Also, more and more money is being spent on treating
those who take too much unhealthy foods and drinks, such as junk food, sweets,
and sugary drinks.
One of the often-blamed cause for heart disease
is saturated fat. It is a type of dietary fat that is usually solid at room
temperatures, such as butter, cheese, palm and coconut oils, sausages, red meat,
cakes, and biscuits, most of which are very popular in the UK and US whose
obesity ratio is among the highest in the world respectively. Most scientists,
doctors, and nutritionists say that too much saturated fat raises bad cholesterol
levels in the blood, which could clog the arteries and cause a heart attack or
stroke. They recommend altering the calorie intake by saturated fat with
healthier foods that are rich in carbohydrates like grains or unsaturated fat,
such as nuts and oily fish. However, some scientists argue that obesity and
diabetes can be lessened by taking more fat but less intake of carbohydrates and snacks.
Whichever the case might be, eat modestly
seems to be the key to a healthier life.
Enjoy reading and learn what saturate fat is
about and does to your health.
