Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood toward the heart. Capillaries connect the arteries to the veins throughout the body. Fun Fact: If all the blood vessels from a child's size body were lined up in a row, they would form a line more than 60,000 miles long.
Fats in Butter. Butter is about 80% fat, and the rest is mostly water. Basically, it is the fatty portion of milk that has been isolated from the protein and carbs. Butter is one of the most complex of all dietary fats, containing more than 400 different fatty acids. It is very high in saturated (about 70%) fatty acids, and contains a fair amount of monounsaturated fatty acids (about 25%).
So when only a solid fat will do, I go for a non-hydrogenated butter substitute or shortening. Theyâre lower in saturated fat than butter and are completely free of cholesterol. Awesome. But ânon-hydrogenatedâ is the really special part.Most butter substitutes or shortenings are made with partially hydrogenated oil, which is just code for trans fat. âNon-hydrogenatedâ means these guys have zero trans fat.Whoo hoo! Iâve had great results with Earth Balance products. They make vegan buttery sticks and natural shortening sticks.ost butter substitutes or shortenings are made with partially hydrogenated oil, which is just code for trans fat. âNon-hydrogenatedâ means these guys have zero trans fat.
