Nutrient Essentials and Functions

I have a couple questions that I need help with.

In our society, there are weight loss programs that recommend low fat, no-fat, or high protein diets.  Should we eliminate fats from our diets altogether and increase proteins?  What are some of the benefits that unsaturated fats and proteins provide when included in a balanced diet?  Explain the answer.

If you have ever poured oil into a glass of water, you have seen that these two substances do not mix.  Knowing this, how do lipids move through the body so they can be digested and absorbed?  How are lipids stored in the body?  Explain the answer.

Thank you in advance for all your help.


Solution Summary

Two paragraphs examining the importance of dietary fats and how lipids are absorbed in the body with web references.
