1. Answer: A
Rationale: Saturated fat is a type of dietary fat. It is one of the unhealthy fats,
along with trans-fat. These fats are most often solid at room
temperature. Foods like butter, palm and coconut oils, cheese, and
red meat have high amounts of saturated fat.
2. Answer: B
Rationale: Monounsaturated fats are healthy fats found in olive oil,
avocados and certain nuts. In fact, the evidence shows that
monounsaturated fats have a number of health benefits. They
can help with weight loss, reduce the risk of heart disease and
decrease inflammation.
3. Answer: C
Rationale: Eating foods with a lot of saturated fat raises your risk for heart
disease; this causes the amount of bad LDLs in your blood to
increase while good HDLs decrease.

Rationale: Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up
thebuilding blocks of the structure and function of living cells.
Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins
(such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell
membrane that is not made up of protein.
5. Answer: B
Rationale: Fats also function as a carrier of fat soluble vitamins. Vitamins A,D,
E, and K require fat for absorption.
6. Fat-related diseases
Rationale: Diabetes
7. Symptoms
Rationale: Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes and type 2
diabetes are:
 Increased thirst
 Frequent urination
 Extreme hunger
 Unexplained weight loss
 Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a byproduct of the
 breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not
 enough available insulin)
 Fatigue
 Irritability
 Blurred vision
  Slow-healing sores
 Frequent infections, such as gums or skin infections and vaginal

8. Causes

diabetes. The cause of diabetes depends on your genes, family history,ethnic
background, and other factors such as the environment and
your health. It also depends on the type of diabetes you have
9. Prevalence
Rationale: According to the International Diabetes Federation (2014), 8.3% of
the population or 387 million people are living with diabetes worldwide. Diabetes
prevalence increases with age across all regions worldwide and income groups.
This number is expected to increase by 205 millionby the year 2035. Diabetes is
most prevalent in people aged 60-79 years, with 18.6%, though those aged 40-
59 have the highest number (184 million) of people living with diabetes
10. Dietary changes
Rationale: Any diet that is rich in nutrients, full of wholesome foods that have
not
been processed, chemically preserved or added to is a good place to
start. People with diabetes always have to be aware of carbohydrate
consumption. Carbohydrates become a source of glucose once
digested. Because diabetics need to keep their blood glucose levels
stable, the quantity and type of carbohydrates matters.
