Betty Napa Dear Betty: Saturated and unsaturated are terms given to fats to distinguish their biochemical structure. All fats are made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Simply stated, a saturated fat is one that has all its available spaces linked with hydrogen. This results in a very rigid structure typically solid at room temperature.

Saturated fats are found mostly in animal products beef fat is the highest in its degree of saturation. Whole milk, cream, ice cream, hard cheeses, butter, eggs, and red meats are relatively high in saturated fats. Palm and coconut oil, although not of animal origin, are indeed highly saturated. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are structures whose linkage with the hydrogen molecule is not as complete. Thus, unsaturated fats are much less rigid and are soft or liquid at room temperature.

Unsaturated fats are found mostly in plant products such as soy, corn, and sunflower seed oils safflower oil is the highest in its degree of unsaturation. Research has shown that the foods you eat can affect your blood lipid level (cholesterol level). This is particularly true of foods containing fats. Saturated fats raise your blood cholesterol level more than any other fat. Unsaturated fats, particularly polyunsaturated, tend to lower blood cholesterol levels.

Most of us eat a diet high in total fat. A healthier approach to the fat in your diet is to reduce overall fat, reduce saturated fat intake, and replace some of it with polyunsaturated fat. Cook and bake with vegetable oils, replace butter with margar- ine, use nonfat or lowfat dairy products, and Include chicken, fish, and lean red meat often.

Napa County Nutritionist, Napa County Health Department Dear Nutrition Expert: My doctor advised me to follow a low cholesterol diet. Im doing okay but I travel in my job so I eat out a lot. What can I do for meals away from home? Mr. R. C.

Dear Mr. R. This meal pattern of eating away from home is seen often today. Congratulations on following your diet at home; you can continue these good selections when eating out too. When choosing breakfast, have fresh fruit or fruit juice and hot or cold cereal.

Ask for low-fat or skim milk, or, try yogurt or cottage cheese served with fresh fruit. Limit your egg yolks to three a week; have one poached or soft-boiled occasionally. Instead of pastries, have toast, English muffin, raisin toast, cinnamon toast, or a bagel. Check the menu to see if margarine is served. Salad is just the thing for lunch.

Avoid the creamy dressings clear dressings are better. Either include a low-fat protein source (turkey, chicken, fish or cottage cheese) in the salad or have it in a sandwich spread with margarine. A variety of fruits and vegetables could complete the meal. Remember to ask for low-fat or skim milk. Now for the evening meal.

Choosing the entree is most important. First, it must be lean: fish, skinned poultry, round steak, flank steak, arm pot roast, leg or sirloin chop; in oooooooooo Thursday dance in Fairfield The Fairfield Ballroom Dancers wil celebrate their ninth anniversary with a Virgo Birthday Ball this Thursday, Sept. 20, at the Fairfield Senior Center, corner of Civic Center Drive and Pensylvania Ave. The Town and Country Band will play dance music from 8 to 1 p.m., and refreshments wioll be served during intermission.

Is it any wonder their sales are booming? Children are particularly susceptible to the power of suggestion" from these ads. Is there really any harm in drinking caffeine beverages? If a young child drinks one can of cola containing caffeine, the caffeine content is comparable to an adult drinking four cups of Call Today 252-THIN FALLACIES 1t CT coffee. Research studies are being conducted to determine if these drinks are connected with symptoms that many of our youth experience, such as insomnia, increase in heart rate, nervousness and irritability.

Diet Center feels adults should realize the effect of caffeine drinks. Children should be encouraged to drink water, fruit juices and natural lemon drinks instead of soda pop, which may be filled with sugar, caffeine, chemicals and sodium that can be harmful to the body. 1315 Pueblo Pueblo at Jefferson Napa 1983 Diet Center.
