Fats12
- It is these fatty acids that give the functionality to fats. (ifst.org)
- Although no naturally occurring fat is either 100% saturated or 100% unsaturated (but is a mix of the two), fats are often referred to as 'saturated' or 'unsaturated' because of the predominance of one or other type of fatty acid. (ifst.org)
- High levels of cholesterol or other fats ( lipids ) in the blood ( hyperlipidemia ). (webmd.com)

PUFAs3
- Until now, no clear benefit has been demonstrated for higher levels of either PUFAs or MUFAs, according to the researchers, but there has been greater interest in using MUFAs to manipulate total fat in the diet due to concerns over the effect of PUFAs on cardiovascular risk factors, such as oxidative stress. (nutraingredients.com)
- But the results of the Penn State study, published in the July issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association , did not show that high levels of PUFAs increase measures of oxidative stress, leading the researchers to conclude that the optimum dietary fat is neither one nor the other, but a proper balance of both.
