All fats raise cholesterol levels. 

Only saturated fats increase cholesterol levels as they raise high-density lipoprotein and increases LDL.]]> 2021-03-10 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407179 ccha7100 https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407180 True or false? Give reasons.
Cutting out carbohydrates always leads to weight loss.

False. Although most of the time, low carbohydrate diets can be very effective for weight loss. This is because reducing carbohydrates typically reduces your appetite and leads to weight loss. However, some people who go on low carbohydrate diets don't always lose weight necessarily.

20 major amino acids. In plant based you don't get the entire complement. Be careful of iron levels and B12 levels. ]]> 2021-03-10 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407181 ccha7100 https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407182 Which nutrient is the brain almost entirely dependent on for energy? What would this mean for very low-carb diets? 

The brain uses glucose as a main source of energy. If you go on low carb diets, this means that your body isn't breaking down enough carbs into glucose, which means your brain will be lacking energy which comes from glucose.]]> 2021-03-10 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407182 ccha7100 https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407183 We love to take protein to fuel our muscle growth. However our muscles can absorb only a certain amount of protein, the rest is used for other functions or pee'd out. 
Have a look at the abstract of the study in this link and get an idea of how much protein you should be eating per meal for maximal muscle growth (assuming you consume 4 meals a day). Note it down here.

- Muscle protein synthesis is optimised in young adults with an intake of 20 - 25g of protein

- It states that one should consume  0.4 g/kg/meal of protein across a minimum of 4 meals to reach a minimum of 1.6 g/kg/day. 

- The upper daily intake of 2.2 g/kg/day reported in this study across the same 4 meals would result in a maximum of 0.55 g/kg/meal of protein.]]> 2021-03-10 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407183 ccha7100 https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407185 Do they though? Assess this statement. 

Eating fats does not necessarily make you fat. Studies have shown that eating fat will not necessarily make you fat. Rather, low-fat diets does not seem to help with weight loss. Specifically, in a diet of replacing fats with carbs is the main contributor of weight gain.]]> 2021-03-10 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407185 ccha7100 https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407192 What are two other important monosaccharides that can be found in your food?

When there is excess glucose, the body stores it in the form of glycogen.

It's pivotal for keeping the digestive tract working smoothly. Since we do not digest it, the fibre in food passes into the intestine and absorbs water. ]]> 2021-03-10 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407196 ccha7100 https://padlet.com/ccha7100/rqgvrkcptcytm8zp/wish/1295407197 Enzymes help speed up the rate of any reaction and are important for the functioning of your body. This includes the breakdown of your food into molecules that can be absorbed into your blood.
Name an enzyme that takes part in your digestive process. Hint: enzymes almost universally end with the suffix "ase".

- LIPASE
