Q Lipids in your diet: In this chapter you are learning about lipids, the different types, food sources, and how your body deals with them. The presence of fats in our food contributes to its favor and texture. Given that fats provide us with 9 kcal/gram, the over-consumption can lead to weight gain. In addition, the type of fat in our diet can also increase our risk of several diseases. However, to make positive and meaningful changes first we need to identify the types of fats in our diet and what foods are providing these fats. In this discussion board, I want you to look into your dietary sources of fats and the type of fats (also look in your pantry/refrigerator - investigate). Use the article and video to provide you some insight into some examples. What to do: Read one article and watch one video: 1. New York Times article 'Should We Be Scared of Butter (Links to an external site.).' 2. Dr. Greger's video 'Trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol: Tolerable upper intake of zero' Useful Canvas Help pages on; How do I reply to a discussion as a student? (Links to an external site.) How do I view the rubric for my graded discussion? In your initial post, answer the following questions (number your responses based on the questions); 1. What did you find interesting (or newly learned) from each source? Explain why you found the information interesting. Just provide one example (and explanation) of information from each source. 2. Using your iProfile reports, identify the major types of dietary fats and sources of these fats represented in your reports. Provide specific examples. Discuss the nutritional significance of your analysis. Be specific! 3. Based on the video and article what nutritionally-related disease(s) are of concern to you? You can also consider family health history. What are some positive changes you are willing to try? Be specific! Discussion Directions: In your initial post, conclude your post by signing your name. When you reply to your classmates, please type the name of the classmate you are responding to, type your thoughtful message to that person, and type your name at the bottom of the message. Make sure to use proper grammar, capitalization, (I instead of i) and punctuation in this college level course in all correspondence. Please avoid “text” or “twitter speak” when corresponding.
