Why worry about eating fat?
Most Americans eat too much fat. Eating a lot of fat raises your blood cholesterol
number. If your blood cholesterol number is too high, you may have a heart attack
or a stroke.
What is fat?
Fat is a greasy substance that doesn’t mix ( dissolve in) with water. Pound for pound,
fats have more calories than any other food. Fats may be solid at room temperature
like beef fat, shortening, and butter or liquid like corn and soybean oils.
What foods have fat in them?
There is fat in most foods. It is found often in meat, dairy products, desserts, and
snacks. You can see some fats, like butter and meat fat. But some fats cannot be
seen, like the fat in nuts, cheese, and hot dogs. This is called hidden fat because
you are not as aware that it is in your food. Most fruits and vegetables have no fat.
