[QUOTE="Kyambala, post: 1336107, member: 210735"] I downloaded the following information from the Internet: [SIZE=4][B]The Benefits Of Saturated Fats[/B][/SIZE] The much-maligned saturated fats-which Americans are trying to avoid-are not the cause of our modern diseases. In fact, they play many important roles in the body chemistry: [LIST] [*][B]Saturated fatty acids constitute at least 50% of the cell membranes.[/B] They are what gives our cells necessary stiffness and integrity. [*]They play a [B]vital role in the health of our bones[/B]. For calcium to be effectively incorporated into the skeletal structure, at least 50% of the dietary fats should be saturated. [*]They [B]lower Lp(a)[/B], a substance in the blood that indicates proneness to heart disease. [*]They [B]protect the liver from alcohol and other toxins[/B], such as Tylenol.
