| Using modern testing equipment, milk can be tested for its fatty acid profile based on the balance of saturated and unsaturated fat. |
| It all starts on the farm by adjusting feed for dairy herds to influence the ratio of saturated and unsaturated fat content. |
| Protein and unsaturated fat reign, but complex carbs have an important supporting role. |
| Except for walnuts, most of the unsaturated fat in nuts is monounsaturated, the kind that predominates in canola and olive oils and in avocados. |
| A saturated fat, like butter or suet, cannot combine with any more atoms than it already has, while an unsaturated fat like olive oil can. |
| While the unsaturated fat in soy milk doesn't clog arteries, it does add calories. |
