See the explanation given below Explanation:Though too much fat can be unhealthy, certain kinds of fat are GOOD for us and are an important part of a healthy diet.What Are Fats?Fats are nutrients in food that the body uses to build nerve tissue (including the brain and nerves) and hormones. The body also uses fat as fuel. If fats eaten aren't burned as energy or used as building blocks, they're stored by the body in fat cells. This is the body's WAY of thinking ahead: By saving fat for future use, it plans for times when food might be scarce.Fat gives food flavor and texture, but it's also high in calories and excess amounts of fatty foods can cause many health problems.For kids and teens, desserts and snacks (including potato chips, chocolate, cakes, doughnuts, pastries, and cookies) are a SIGNIFICANT source of fat. Kids also get fat from whole-milk products and high-fat meats, such as bacon, hot dogs, and fattier cuts of red meat.Fast-food and takeout meals tend to have more fat than home cooking; and in restaurants, fried dishes are the highest in fat content. Fat also often "hides" in foods in the form of creamy, cheesy, or buttery sauces or dressings.However, healthy fats at the recommended daily amounts are an important part of a nutritious diet for both kids and adults.Why Are Some Fats Healthy?Getting enough healthy fats is essential for growth and development. Young kids, in particular, need enough of them in their diet to help the brain and nervous system develop normally.Besides supplying fuel for the body, fats:help the body absorb some vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble, meaning they can only be absorbed if there's fat in a person's diet)are the building blocks of hormonesinsulate all nervous system tissues in the bodyhelp people feel full, so they're less likely to overeatFat is a great source of energy, but does have twice the amount of calories as carbohydrates or protein. For example, 1 GRAM of fat provides 9 calories, whereas 1 gram of carbohydrates or protein provide 4 calories.What Kinds of Fats Are in Food?To help you figure out fats, here's a look at the three major types:1. Unsaturated fats: Found in plant foods and fish, these are seen as neutral or even beneficial to heart health. Unsaturated fats are:monounsaturated, found in avocados and olive, peanut, and canola oilspolyunsaturated, found in most vegetable oilsomega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat found in oily fish like tuna and salmon2. Saturated fats: Found in meat and other animal products, such as butter, shortening, lard, cheese, and milk (except skim or nonfat). Coconut OIL is also high in saturated fat, but it has a different structure than saturated fats found in animal products. Coconut oil has become popular due to its health benefits; however, olive and canola oils are more heart-healthy. Eating too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.3. Trans fats: Found in some stick margarines, commercial snack foods, baked goods, and some commercially fried foods. Trans fats (also called trans fatty acids) are created when vegetable oils are hydrogenated (meaning that hydrogen atoms are added to the fat molecule so they remain solid at room temperature). Trans fats can raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease. Food manufacturers must list trans fats on food labels, but may also refer to them as "partially hydrogenated" oils on the ingredient list. Many companies now make margarines (or vegetable oil spreads) without trans fats.How Are Fats Listed on Labels?When shopping for food and reading labels, remember that it's easy to eat a portion that's larger than the serving size on the label. A bag of corn chips might list 12 chips as a serving size, but kids often eat two or three times that amount. So be sure to pay attention to serving sizes.When it comes to fat, food packages can say many things, such as fat-free, low-fat, reduced fat, and light (or lite). The government has strict rules about the use of two of these phrases. By law:fat-free foods can contain no more than 0.5 grams of fat per servinglow-fat foods may contain 3 grams of fat or less per servingReduced-fat and light (lite) foods are a little trickier and you may need to do some supermarket math. Light (lite) and reduced-fat foods may still be high in fat.A light (lite) food must contain 50% less fat or one third fewer calories per serving than the regular version of that food.A reduced-fat food must contain 25% less fat per serving than the regular version.But if the regular version of a particular food was high in fat to begin with, a reduction may not lower the fat content enough to make it a smart snacking choice. If the original version of a brand of peanut butter contains 16 grams of fat and the reduced fat version contains 12 grams, that's still a lot of fat!
