Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / March 2004Is saturated fat really bad?
A normal digestive system breaks our food into the simplest building blocks before absorption occurs. Protein is "disassembled" into amino acids, and fats of all kinds are "disassembled" into fatty acids and glycerol. So what's difference if we eat saturated, polyunsaturated, or monounsaturated if they are all broken into the same end products before absorption? Why should saturated or transfats be more dangerous? >A normal digestive system breaks our food into the simplest building >blocks before absorption occurs.

Why should saturated or transfats be more dangerous? It's the fatty acids that are saturated or not. >>A normal digestive system breaks our food into the simplest building >>blocks before absorption occurs.
