	Saturated fat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain (hence, they are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms).
		Fat that occurs naturally in living matter such as animals and plants is used as food for human consumption and contains a varying proportion of saturated and unsaturated fat.
		Studies suggesting replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats to increase the ratio of HDL to LDL serum cholesterol, have to be analysed within the concept of processed/damaged/oxidised/Trans-shaped versus naturally found/undamaged saturated fats, since saturated fat is extremely stable and easily withstands cooking/roasting heats, they resist oxidation and can be stored the longest.

	Lowfat Diets by Mary G. Enig, PhD
		Sixty years ago, recommendations for the amount of fat allowed in therapeutic diets could range from the very lowfat (high-protein) diet used to treat nephrosis, a type of kidney disease, (18 percent of the energy as fat) to the very high-fat diet used to treat epilepsy in children (88 percent of the energy as fat).
		In between was the "lowfat" diet used for treatment of obesity (32 percent of energy as fat) and the relatively high-fat therapeutic diets used for convalescence from serious illness (49-56 percent of energy as fat).
		Whatever level of fat works for an individual, it should be a mixture of natural fats that were common in the diets 60 and more years ago.
