Importance of lipids in nutrition

• Fat is an essential nutrient (必需營養素).

• Fats contribute greatly to the flavor (香味) and texture (質地) of foods.

• Fats are one of macronutrients (巨量營養素).

What are lipids?

• The term lipids applies to a broad range of organic molecules that dissolve easily in organic solvents such as alcohol (醇), ether (醚), or acetone (酮), but are much less soluble in water. (廣義定義)

• Hydrophobic = water-fearing = lipophilic = fat-loving (親油、疏水的)

• Hydrophilic = water loving = lipophobic = fat fearing (親水、疏油的) 4

Lipids in foods and in the body

• Triglycerides = triacylglycerol (三酸甘油酯)

• Phospholipids (磷脂質) (2% of dietary lipids)

• Sterols (固醇類) (a small percentage of our dietary lipids)

Cholesterol in the body

• 1/3 from dietary lipids (飲食攝取) • 2/3 from endogenous (體內合成) • An important component of cell

membranes • A precursor in the synthesis of sex

hormones, adrenal (腎上腺) hormones (e.g., cortisol), vitamin D, and bile salts (膽鹽)

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)

It is named all-cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (18:3 (n−3)). The first double bond is located at the third carbon from the n end. Thus, α-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated n-3 (omega-3) fatty acid. It is an isomer of γ-linolenic acid (GLA), a polyunsaturated n-6 (omega-6) fatty acid. 37

Page 38: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)

γ-Linolenic acid (gamma-linolenic acid or GLA, sometimes called gamoleic acid) is an essential fatty acid (?) found primarily in vegetable oils. However, it can be synthesized from linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6).

Triglycerides (三酸甘油酯) • Structure

• Glycerol (甘油) + 3 fatty acids (脂肪酸)

• Functions • Energy source • Energy reserve • Insulation and protection • Carrier of fat-soluble

compounds • Sensory qualities in food

43

Function of Triglycerides

• Fat performs a number of essential functions in the body.

• Fat is also a major energy source. When at rest, muscles prefer to use fat for fuel.

Fat = Storage

• Evolution has selected fat, rather than glycogen, as its primary energy storage medium.

• A gram of fat stores more than six times as much energy as a gram of glycogen.

women tend to store it in their hips (臀部). 57

Micronutrient Carrier

• Fat is a micronutrient carrier.

• Fat holds more than just energy.

• It also carries important nutrients, such as fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids.

• Intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDLs, 中密度脂蛋白) • Remove some phospholipids

• Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs, 低密度脂蛋白) • Deliver cholesterol to cells

• High-density lipoproteins (HDLs, 高密度脂蛋白) • Pick up cholesterol for removal or recycling

Lipids in the Diet

• Recommended intake • Consume at least two weekly servings of oily fish • Balance of calories from fat and carbohydrate • Reduce sat and trans fat intake • Total fat: 20–35 percent of calories • Need ~2 percent of calories as essential fatty

acids • Improve balance of omega-3 : omega-6 fatty

acids 91

Recommended Fat Intake

• The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends a fat intake of 20 to 35 percent of total calories.

• Saturated fat should supply no more than 10 percent of our total calories, or about one-third of our fat calories.

• Obesity • High-fat diets promote weight gain

Page 105: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

AHA Position on Omega-3 Fatty Acids

• The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week. Fish is a good source of protein and doesn’t have high saturated fat that fatty meat products do.

• Fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

105

Page 106: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

A Healthy Balance

• An appropriate balance of calories from fat and carbohydrates can have multiple health benefits aside from controlling weight.

• These include cholesterol levels, vitamin intake, etc.

106

Page 107: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

Position on Fat Replacers • It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and

Dietetics that the majority of fat replacers, when used in moderation by adults, can be safe and useful adjuncts to lowering the fat content of foods and may play a role in decreasing total dietary energy and fat intake.

• Moderate use of low-calorie, reduced-fat foods, combined with low total energy intake, could potentially promote dietary intake consistent with the objectives of Healthy People 2010 and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

107

Page 108: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

The Women’s Health Initiative (倡議)

• This study sought to explore whether a dietary intervention (膳食介入) that reduces intake of total fat and increases intakes of fruits, vegetables, and grains will reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

• The results found that the intervention had no effect on the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, or overall cardiovascular disease.

• Since this study was initiated, scientific thinking has evolved to focus on modifying intake of specific types of fat.

108

Page 109: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

NCEP Tips for Healthful Eating Out

• Choose restaurants that have low-fat, low-cholesterol menu items.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for foods that follow your eating pattern.

• Select poultry, fish, or meat that is broiled, grilled, baked, steamed, or poached rather than fried (油炸).

109

Page 110: Chapter05 Nutrition 2015

Diet and Cancer

• The evidence linking dietary fat to cancer is inconclusive. The case looks strong when we compare cancer rates between countries: Overall cancer rates are generally higher in countries with high fat intake, and lower in countries where people eat less fat. But in population studies within those countries, the evidence linking fat to cancer is weaker.
