A client with coronary artery disease tells you that they always look for foods that are labeled "cholesterol free.". Foods with this label may still promote heart disease if they are high in
a. monounsaturated fat and cis fat.
b. polyunsaturated fat and trans fat.
c. saturated fat and trans fat.
d. medium chain triglycerides and cis fat.
C
High intakes of saturated fat and trans fat increase blood cholesterol levels and contribute to co-ronary heart disease. Monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat may slightly decrease serum cholesterol levels if eaten in moderation and so do hot promote heart disease. Intakes of medium chain triglycerides and cis fat are not directly related to heart disease.
