Lipids
Introduction
Fats, or lipids, are a key component of any healthy diet, but it’s important to know if we’re getting too little healthful fat, too much harmful fat, or too much fat in general.
In this activity, you will identify the sources of lipids in your diet and compare the amount you get with the current dietary recommendations.
