Some effects of deep frying on dietary fat intake

Article Abstract:

Deep frying promotes exchange of fatty acids from the oil used in cooking and the food being cooked. Deep frying displaces the water content of food and protects the heat labile components by forming a coating on the surface thus preventing too much fat penetration and improving taste. The amount of fat in food after deep frying depends on the initial amount and quality of fatty acids and is no greater than in other procedures using oil. The study of total lipid intake after deep frying is difficult to qualify however, because various complexities are encountered, ranging from the unique kinetics of fat and in the cooking process itself.

Children's preferences for high-fat foods

Article Abstract:

American children learn to prefer fatty foods because of associative conditioning and exposure effects. Exposure of children to high fat foods is high in the US because these are readily available and cheap. Children prefer fatty foods more because these taste better than other more nutritious meals. Cultural and physiological biases make children associate high fat foods with positive social contexts and reinforcements. The role of the parents is clearly important in teaching children about proper nutrition.

Nutrition evaluation of dietary fat substitutes

Article Abstract:

The rising awareness of people on the nutritional value of the food they eat led to the growth of innovative food products designed to help people achieve their dietary goals. Included in the category are low-fat or no-fat foods, which use fat substitutes instead of the food's natural oils and fats, to help people reduce their fat intake and lower their cholesterol levels. Studies that these substitutes are also good for health because they reduce people's risk of developing chronic diseases.
