The key is to focus on healthy fats, which are naturally found in many foods. But what are healthy fats, exactly—and how do ...

This article on fats focuses on four types: saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans. Saturated vs Unsaturated ...

This process also rearranges the molecular shape of the remaining unsaturated fats. The resulting shape is an abnormal "trans" shape. Trans fatty acids constitute up to 60 percent of the fat in ...

Salk scientists have tracked the flow of trans fats using mouse models to describe the molecular mechanisms that cause trans fats to promote atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), explaining ...

A crucial molecule for brain health acts as a garbage collector of other fat molecules (lipids), despite also being a lipid itself. So for more than half a century, researchers have puzzled over ...

Blood pressure can be reduced and lipid profiles improved by modification of the carboydrate-based diet by partial substitution of the carbohydrate with protein or unsaturated fat.

Triglyceride levels remained unchanged with the carbohydrate-based diet, although they decreased with the unsaturated-fat and high-protein diets. HDL levels decreased when saturated fat and ...
