THREE TIPS ABOUT OIL AND FAT YOU CONSUME

First, fat and oil are basic require by human being to give energy hence warm the body .Fat and oil are both of chemical nature. The chemical content of fat and oil are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. But the fat molecule contain less oxygen then other basic food like cabon- hydrate and protein. Fat and oil are source of energy for human being .Energy from fat and oil are twice that of that of carbonhydrate.lt is the plant that manufacture fat and oil. Human being do not manufacture oil or fat in their body , human only accumulate oil and fat from plant and animal like turkey, chicken, goat and cow they consume. Second , the plant produce fat and oil in their cell called protoplasm and store them in their seed such as that of that of cotton seed, that of palm kernel in their coat and that of groundnut in their seed. ln cold countries human being accumulate a layer of fat and oil below the skin to keep their body warm. ln warm countries like Africa human being lose heat , rather than keep it .Therefore deposition of fat and oil below their skin are not necessary. Third, in few of this fact human being living hot climate usually keep minimum fat in their body therefore foods such groundnut cake, palm kernel meal, soybean meal, are defatted before being consume in hot climate. Fat and oil are mixtures of glyceride of fatty acids. Fat and oil contain high proportion of unsaturated acids. Fat and oil are usually liquid at 20 degree centigrade.
