1:18 What is unsaturated fat?

In nutrition, biology, and chemistry, fat usually means any ester of fatty acids, or a mixture of such compounds, most commonly those that occur in living beings or in food.[1]

The term often refers specifically to triglycerides (triple esters of glycerol), that are the main components of vegetable oils and of fatty tissue in animals;[2] or, even more narrowly, to triglycerides that are solid or semisolid at room temperature, thus excluding oils. The term may also be used more broadly as a synonym of lipid—any substance of biological relevance, composed of carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen, that is insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents.[1] In this sense, besides the triglycerides, the term would include several other types of compounds like mono- and diglycerides, phospholipids (such as lecithin), sterols (such as cholesterol), waxes (such as beeswax),[1] and free fatty acids, which are usually present in human diet in smaller amounts.[2]

Fats are one of the three main macronutrient groups in human diet, along with carbohydrates and proteins,[1][3] and the main components of common food products like milk, butter, tallow, lard, salt pork, and cooking oils. They are a major and dense source of food energy for many animals and play important structural and metabolic functions, in most living beings, including energy storage, waterproofing, and thermal insulation.[4] The human body can produce the fat it requires from other food ingredients, except for a few essential fatty acids that must be included in the diet. Dietary fats are also the carriers of some flavor and aroma ingredients and vitamins that are not water-soluble.[2]

You would be healthier probably just eating saturated fat than half the food in stores 😂

In India we eat Ghee and Egg and there are no cases of heart diseases linked to it
Refined Carbohydrates are the real reason, not saturated fats in diet
So to improve diet we need to avoid refined Carbohydrates like refined flour and refined sugar

The most updated research have debunked the link between saturated fat and an increase in LDL cholesterol. Whole milk, butter, etc., are no longer "bad for you, " and in fact, consume in moderation is better for you.

I'm delighted to see that most people are ignoring rubbish like this nowadays and learning for themselves.

Saturation - hydrocarbon chains; Unsaturated - hydrocarbon chains with 1 or more double bonds meaning it can't uniformly saturate with hydrogen atoms unlike saturated. (the hydrogen bonds are single bonds)

Doesn't that mean cooking with beef tallow will increase your cholesterol levels? Not sure why everyone is over hyping it.

Coconut oil is 95% saturated fat,
Butter is 55% saturated fat,
Lard is 39% saturated and all are natural.
Go natural before you ever cook with manufactured oils.

If you cook with oils, how long does it take to clean your stove-top?
If you cook with animal fats, you can wipe it clean with a paper towel. Simple.

We should report this video for misinformation.

Most of the information in this video is wrong, and I certainly hope that people are not paying too much attention to it and taking the advice here.

If you watch Rob Lustig or Malcolm Kendrick on these subjects they will give you accurate information
