Section 1 Fatty acids (Fats and
Oils) Saturated Unsaturated
Polyunsaturated Monounsaturated
Section 2 Cholesterol
High density lipoprotein HDL
Low density lipoprotein LDL
Section 3
How do they work together?
Section 1 -KINDS OF FATTYACIDS
SaturatedUnsaturated
(mono and poly)
Solid at room temperature All the H molecules are used Come from animal sources – also coconut
and palm oils Come from meats, milk, butter, lard, other
animal products
Worst kind of fat for cholesterol
SATURATED FATS…
UNSATURATED FATS …
PolyunsaturatedMany H molecules are unbondedLiquid at room temperatureCorn, soybean, safflower oil
Better for cholesterol than saturated fat Monounsaturated
Only 1 H molecule is unbondedLiquid at room temperatureOlive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, fish oils
Best for controlling cholesterol
Section 2 -CHOLESTEROL…
Definition – a waxy, fatty like substance that surrounds the cells in the body and is essential for many bodily functions, including the nervous system.
It is found in animal tissue but never in plants
Your liver manufactures all the cholesterol you need.
There are two different types of cholesterol:
TYPES OF CHOLESTEROL…
HDL – Good cholesterol. It moves quickly throughout the body and helps to remove the bad cholesterol. We want a high HDL reading.
LDL – Bad cholesterol. It moves slowly throughout the body. Excess settles in the blood vessel walls and produces plaque. We want a low LDL reading.
DISEASES…
Heart disease, high blood
pressure and obesity are linked
to high levels of LDL.
Section 3 – WORKING TOGETHER
Your body uses fats to produce the cholesterol.
Different kinds of fats affect the different kinds of cholesterol.

Recommendations to remember…
30% or less of the calories you eat each day should come from fats. (10% from saturated and 20% from unsaturated.)
For a 2000 calorie diet that would be app. 66 grams
Only 300 mg. or less of cholesterol should be eaten each day
