Fats
Fats, which consist of a wide group of compounds, are usually soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are usually known as triesters of glycerol and fatty acids (triester = one of three ester chemical groups).
At room temperature fats may be present in either liquid or solid form, this depends on their structure and composition. We tend to refer to fats which are liquid at room temperature as oils. Fats which are solid at room temperature are generally referred to as fats. The word lipids refers to both solid and liquid forms of fat. Below is a reminder breakdown of their meanings:
- Oils - Any fat which exists in liquid form at room temperature. Oils are also any substances that do not mix with water and have a greasy feel.
- Fats - All types. However, fats are commonly referred to as those which are solid at room temperature.
- Lipids - All types of fats, regardless of whether they are liquid or solid.
Examples of Fats
- Animal fats
Butter, lard, cream, fat in (and on) meats. - Vegetable fats
Olive oil, peanut oil, flax seed oil, corn oil.
Different categories of fats
- Saturated fat
Saturated fats are totally saturated, each molecule of fat is covered in hydrogen atoms. Nutritionists say saturated fats increase health risks if you consume too much over a long period of time. A large intake of saturated fats will eventually raise cholesterol levels, which can lead to cardiovascular disease and possiblystroke.
Where is saturated fat found?
The largest amounts of saturated fats can be found in meat (mammals), meat products, the skin of poultry, dairy products, many processed foods such as cakes, biscuits, pastries and crisps, as well as coconut oil. - Monounsaturated fat
Monounsaturated fat molecules are notsaturated with hydrogen atoms - each fat molecule has only the space for one hydrogen atom. Health experts say the impact on health of monounsaturated fats is neutral - they are neither good nor bad for you. Many health professionals, however, do say that they reduce a person's risk of developing heart disease. The Mediterranean diet is full of monounsaturated fats.
Where are monounsaturated fats found?
Olives, ground nut oil, and avocados. - Polyunsaturated fat
There are a number of spaces around each polyunsaturated fat molecule - they are not saturated with hydrogen atoms. Nutritionists say polyunsaturated fat is good for our health, especially those from fish, known as the Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids protect us from heart disease as they lower blood cholesterol levels. Health care professionals say Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may also help reduce the symptoms experienced by people who suffer from arthritis, joint problems in general, and some skin diseases.
Where are Polyunsaturated fats found?
Oily fish (sardines, mackerel, trout, salmon and herring), safflower oil, grapeseed oil, and sunflower oil. - Trans fat
Trans fats are synthetically made, they do not naturally occur. Trans fats are created in an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid. They are also known as partially hydrogentated oils.
Trans fats might be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, they are never saturated. A trans fat is a type of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid(s). Therefore, trans fats have fewer hydrogen atoms than saturated fats.
Trans fats are not essential for human life and they most certainly do not promote good health. Consuming trans fats increases your LDL cholesterol level (bad cholesterol) and lowers levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), which in turn raises your risk of developing coronary heart disease and stroke.
Experts say that trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils are worse for your health than naturally occurring oils.
Trans fats have become popular because food companies find them easy to use and cheap to produce. They also last a long time and can give food a nice taste. As trans fats can be used many times in commercial friers they are commonly used in fast food outlets and restaurants. Several cities around the world are trying to stop outlets from using trans fats.
Where are trans fats commonly found?- Fried foods, such as French fries
- Doughnuts
- Pies, pastries, biscuits, pizza dough, cookies, crackers, stick margarines, shortenings, and many other baked foods
If the nutritional labeling includes partially hydrogenated oils, it means that food has trans fats. The American Heart Association says your consumption of trans fats should not exceed 1% of your total calorie intake.
The Atkins diet says that saturated fat is overrated as a bad fat. The Atkins diet adds that trans fats are much more important in developing vascular disease.
How much fat should I eat?
According to the Dietary Guidelines for American 2005, the following percentages are recommended:- Children aged 2 to 3 - total fat limited to 30%-35% of total calorie intake
- Children aged 4 to 18 - total fat limited to 25%-35% of total calorie intake
- Adults aged 19 and older - total fat limited to 20%-35% of total calorie intake
Over the last 50 years the percentage of people in most countries who are overweight has increased significantly. This is due to many factors, but NOT because people's fat intake has increased. Over the last five decades the consumption of carbohydrates as a percentage of total calorie consumption has increased dramatically - not fat consumption. Fat consumption does not make your body produce more insulin; carbohydrates do that. The more insulin your produce the more energy your body will store away as fat. When deciding how much fat to consume, remember that the answer is not simple - there are many types of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

SMS Quotes
Proteins
Enzymes, hormones and antibodies are proteins. Proteins also work as neurotransmitters and carriers of oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin).
Imagine proteins as machines; machines which make all living things, from viruses, bacteria, butterflies, jellyfish, plants and humans function. The human body is made up of approximately 100 trillion cells - each one has a specific function. Each cell has thousands of different proteins, which together make the cell do its job - the proteins are tiny machines within the cell. Amino acids and proteins - protein is made up of amino acids; amino acids are the building blocks of protein, there are 20 of them. Imagine there are 20 different types of bricks, and a much larger number of different types of houses which we could name according to the way we combined the bricks (their sequence). The bricks are the amino acids and the houses are the proteins.
The 20 different amino acids are:
- Alanine
- Arginine
- Asparagines
- Aspartic acid
- Cysteine
- Glutamic acid
- Glutamine
- Glycine, histidine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Lysine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Proline
- Serine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Tyrosine
- Valine
There are three types of nutrients that are essential as energy sources for the human body:
- Proteins
- Carbohydrates
- Fats
Jons Jacob Berzelius (1779-1848), a Swedish doctor and chemist, introduced the word protein into science. Dutch chemist Gerhardus Johannes Mulder had already described proteins beforehand, but had not introduced the word as we know it today.
The Greek word protos means "first" and the Greek word proteios means "the first quality". As European scientists believed it was essential to life (a primary/first quality for life, a raw/primary material), they created a new word from the original Greek one.
According to Medilexicon's medical dictionary:
Proteins are Macromolecules consisting of long sequences of α-amino acids [H2N-CHR-COOH] in peptide (amide) linkage (elimination of H2O between the α-NH2 and α-COOH of successive residues). Protein is three fourths of the dry weight of most cell matter and is involved in structures, hormones, enzymes, muscle contraction, immunologic response, and essential life functions. The amino acids involved are generally the 20 α-amino acids (glycine, l-alanine) recognized by the genetic code. Crosslinks yielding globular forms of protein are often effected through the -SH groups of two l-cysteinyl residues, as well as by noncovalent forces (hydrogen bonds, lipophilic attractions, etc.).
The function of proteins
In virtually every biological process proteins are playing a role. The main functions of proteins in the human body are to:- Build, strengthen and repair/replace things, such as tissue. Examples include keratin (strengthens protective coverings, such as hair), collagen and elastin (both provide support for connective tissue).
- Make antibodies for our immune system
- Make hormones, which help cells send messages and coordinate bodily activities
- Muscle contractions - actin and myosin, two types of proteins, are involved in muscle contraction and movement.
- Make enzymes. An enzyme facilitates a biochemical reaction.
- Carry things - hemoglobin, a protein, transports oxygen through the blood.
- Mediate cell response - rhodopsin is a protein in the eye which is used for vision
- Storing things - ferritin is a protein which stores iron in the liver
Dietary requirements of protein
Nobody seems to agree on how much protein we can eat; experts from industry, government agencies, diet companies and nutritional organizations have a varying list of assertions.An individual's daily protein requirement depends on several factors, including:
- Age - a growing child's needs will not be the same as an individual aged 80 years
- Sex - males generally require more protein than (non-pregnant or non-breastfeeding) females
- Weight - an individual who weighs 200lbs will require more protein compared to somebody who weighs 120lbs. In fact, recent studies indicate that weight matters more than age when determining dietary protein requirements.
- Muscular exertion - an individual who earns his living delivering pianos will require more protein than a computer programmer of the same age and height
- Muscle mass - a muscle-bound weight trainer will need more dietary protein than a marathon runner
- Health - a person who is convalescing after an illness or medical procedure may need more dietary protein than other people
Percentage of energy that should come from protein:
(Source: DRI page7)
- Children aged 1 to 3 years - 5% to 20%
- Children aged 4 to 18 years - 10% to 30%
- Adults - 10% to 35%
- Infants - 10 grams per day
- Teenage boys - up to 52 grams per day
- Teenage girls - up to 46 grams per day
- Adult men- approximately 56 grams per day
- Adult women - approximately 46 grams per day
- Pregnant or lactating (breastfeeding) women - about 71 grams per day
Protein deficiency
In some developing countries protein deficiency is s major cause of illness and premature death. Protein deficiency can lead to mental retardation and reduced IQ.In most parts of the world where protein deficiency is common, total food energy consumption is also too low - i.e. people are not getting enough food in general. Protein deficiency can lead to:
- Growth problems
- Wasting and shrinkage of muscle tissue
- Apathy
- Diarrhea
- Fatty liver
- Swollen belly
- Swollen legs
- Anemia
- Weaker immune system, leading to a higher susceptibility to infections and diseases
In developed countries, especially Western Europe where the dietary requirements of poorer people are very carefully monitored and resolved, protein deficiency is quite rare. In developed nations, protein deficiency is more likely to occur among people on crash diets, or among very elderly individuals who do not eat properly. Some studies indicate that protein deficiency and general malnutrition is probably worse than people realize, especially in the USA among poor people, convalescing patients, and the elderly. The difference in the nutritional content of a Japanese/Finnish state school lunch, compared to one in the USA would shock most Finnish or Japanese nutritionists.
Sources of dietary protein
- Meat
- Poultry
- Fish and fish eggs
- Insects
- Dairy products
- Seeds and nuts
- Soy products
- Quorn - a fungus extract, popular in the UK/Ireland. Egg-white is used as a binder, so it is not a vegan source.
- Eggs
- Grains, vegetables and legumes also have protein (less per kilo of total weight)
