Fats | Olive oil is good for you, and pancake mix is not. Why is that? | Which fat is good by CBSESolver | TCS
Olive oil is 100% fat; there's nothing else in it. Pancake mix, on the other hand, is only about 11% fat.
And, yet, olive oil is good for you, and pancake mix is not. Why is that?
As it turns out, the amount of fat we eat doesn't impact our weight or our cholesterol or our risk of heart diseases as well as kidney diseases nearly as much as what kind of fat we eat. But let's back up:
Olive oil is 100% fat. Pancake mix is only 11% fat. But olive oil is mostly unsaturated fat, and it has no trans fat at all. On the other hand, more than half the fat in pancake mix is either saturated or trans fat. And, so, even though olive oil has 10 times as much fat as pancake mix, it's healthy for you, whereas pancake mix is not. Now, I'm not trying to pick on pancake mix. There are lots of foods with this type of fat profile. The point is this: It's not how much fat you eat, it's what kind of fat. And what makes a particular fat healthy or unhealthy is its shape.
