Catherine is confused by the information on food labels. Instruct her about the differences among the following three she sees on the label: polyunsaturated fat, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat
What will be an ideal response?
The polyunsaturated fat is the healthiest choice of the three that Catherine should choose to eat. The hydrocarbon chain of a polyunsaturated fatty acid has two or more double bonds between its carbon atoms. Although monounsaturated fats are often oils, the hydrocarbon chain has only one double bond between two carbons. The hydrocarbon chain of a saturated fat is full, or saturated with, hydrogen atoms.
