How are acid helpful in maintaining a good health
Answers
The specific amount of each fatty acid and its respective molecular structure determine whether the fat is a solid or a liquid.
Saturated fats like butter, animal fat and hydrogenated oils are solid at room temperature.
Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil remain liquid at room temperature, but not when refrigerated. Because our bodies can manufacture both saturated and monounsaturated fats, they are called nonessential.
Polyunsaturated fats are a different story. They are also liquid, both at room temperature and when refrigerated. The human body cannot manufacture polyunsaturated fats, therefore they must be supplied by diet, hence the name - Essential Fatty Acids.
It is important to know that EFA's contribute to good health and are not to be confused with harmful saturated fats.
