This document discusses fats and their effects on health. It describes fats as greasy substances that are obtained from plants and animals and are needed in the diet to supply essential fatty acids and energy. It distinguishes between saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature and originate from animals, and unsaturated fats, which are liquid and come from plants. While fats are necessary for vitamin absorption and energy, too much saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels and contribute to cardiovascular diseases. Unsaturated fats can replace saturated fats and help lower cholesterol.
