76. Describe the functions of fats in the body.
ANSWER:
|
Fat provides the majority of the energy needed to perform much of the body’s muscular work. Fat is also the body’s chief storage form for the energy from food eaten in excess of need. The storage of fat is a valuable survival mechanism for people who live a feast-or-famine existence: stored during times of plenty, fat enables them to remain alive during times of famine. Most body cells can store only limited fat, but some cells are specialized for fat storage. These fat cells seem able to expand almost indefinitely—the more fat they store, the larger they grow. Adipose (fat) tissue secretes hormones that help to regulate appetite and influence other body functions in ways critical to health. Additionally, fats protect the internal organs from shock, cushioning them with fat pads inside the body cavity. Fats insulate against temperature extremes by forming a fat layer under the skin and form the major material of cell membranes. Lipids are converted to other compounds, such as hormones, bile, and vitamin D, as needed.

77. Define the term emulsification and describe how the process of emulsification is used by food processors.
ANSWER:
|
Food manufacturers blend fat with watery ingredients by way of emulsification. For example, salad dressings separate to form two layers—vinegar (water) on the bottom, oil on top. Other dressings, such as mayonnaise, are also made from vinegar and oil, but they never separate. The difference lies in a special ingredient of mayonnaise, the emulsifier lecithin in egg yolks. Lecithin, a phospholipid, blends the vinegar with the oil to form the stable, spreadable mayonnaise.

78. Differentiate between LDL and HDL and explain why elevated LDL concentrations in the blood are a sign of high heart attack risk.
ANSWER:
|
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are lipoproteins that transport lipids from the liver to other tissues such as muscle and fat; they contain a large proportion of cholesterol. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) pick up cholesterol from body cells and carry it away to the liver for disposal. Both LDL and HDL carry cholesterol, but high blood LDL concentrations warn of an increased risk of heart attack, whereas low HDL concentrations are associated with a greater risk. Thus, some people refer to LDL as “bad” cholesterol and HDL as “good” cholesterol—yet they carry the same kind of cholesterol. The key difference to health between LDL and HDL lies in the proportions of lipids they contain and the tasks they perform, not in the type of cholesterol they carry. When LDL cholesterol is too high, it contributes to lipid buildup in tissues, particularly in the linings of the arteries, that can trigger inflammation and lead to heart disease; HDL cholesterol opposes these effects, and when HDL in the blood drops below the recommended level, heart disease risks rise in response.

79. Discuss arguments you would use in trying to convince someone to consume fish rather than take fish oil supplements.
ANSWER:
|
Fish, not fish oil supplements, is the preferred source of omega-3 fatty acids for most healthy people. Evidence is mixed for people with heart disease—several studies show improvements in blood lipids and prevention of further heart disease, whereas others reveal no benefits or even increased metabolic risks from supplements. For people with specific forms of heart disease, however, the American Medical Association recommends 1,000 milligrams (1 gram) or more a day of EPA and DHA. Supplements can help such people to meet this goal, but in large doses they may bring risks, such as increased bleeding, delayed wound healing, and immune suppression. The benefits and risks from EPA and DHA illustrate an important concept in nutrition: too much of a nutrient is often as harmful as too little.

80. What are trans fatty acids and what is their role in the promotion of heart disease?
ANSWER:
|
Trans-fatty acids form during hydrogenation. When polyunsaturated oils are hardened by hydrogenation, some of the unsaturated fatty acids end up changing their shapes instead of becoming saturated. This change in chemical structure creates trans unsaturated fatty acids that are similar in shape to saturated fatty acids. The change in shape changes their effects in the body. Consuming manufactured trans fat poses a risk to the heart and arteries by raising blood LDL cholesterol, worsening atherosclerosis, causing heart cell toxicity, and increasing tissue inflammation. In addition, when hydrogenation changes essential fatty acids into their saturated or trans counterparts, the consumer loses the health benefits of the original raw oil. The risk to health from trans fat is similar to or slightly greater than that from saturated fat, so guidelines suggest that people avoid trans fats as much as possible. A small amount of naturally occurring trans fat also comes from animal sources, such as milk and lean beef, but these trans fats have little effect on blood lipids and are under study for potential health benefits.
