Fats Explained

Fats and oils are defined as saturated or unsaturated depending on which it contains the most of. All fats and oils will be made up of a mix of saturated and unsaturated fat, but one usually dominates, for example rapeseed oil is mostly made up of monounsaturated fat, whereas butter is mostly made up of saturated fat.

Good & Bad Fats

  • Saturated fats raise cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease and stroke.

  • Unsaturated fats can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels as part of a healthy balanced diet.

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats should be used to substitute saturated fats. It’s important to get the balance right as too much of any fat in our diet can lead to weight gain and obesity.
