With so many types of fats, and so much mixed messaging around them, it’s tough to know what to eat more or less of when ...

Both omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may increase levels of some inflammatory biomarkers associated with increased cardiovascular risk, a new study has found.

New research found linoleic acid, the main fat in seed oils, is linked to a lower risk of heart disease and diabetes biomarkers. Here's why seed oils get a bad rap, and what the science actually says.

It’s only when we consume more fat than our bodies require that the surplus is stored as body fat.” Fats are also classified into three main types: saturated, trans fats, and unsaturated.

Consequently, food molecules often provide chemical scaffolds that are optimized for protein binding 49 but also have a broad range of structures and features.

This molecular structure also affects how your body processes these fats. When consumed, saturated fats interact differently with your digestive system, liver, and cardiovascular system compared ...

Animal-based foods, processed foods, and some oils contain saturated fats. Eating too much saturated fat is linked to a higher risk of heart disease.

Experts recognise oleogels as an alternative fat with major potential. The process combines oil with gelators to form hard structures, giving unsaturated oils some of the functional attributes of ...

Researchers report in ACS Chemical Neuroscience that adolescent rodents fed a high-fat diet showed poor control during motor inhibition tasks and conservative decision-making in gambling scenarios as ...

Researchers at Osaka University identified a degradation factor for SREBP1 as essential for maintaining the balance of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in adipose tissue.
