bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible.
• Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature.
They come from foods such as meat and milk.
• Eating too many saturated fats can lead to obesity,
high cholesterol levels, and increased risk of heart
disease.

they can be stored in fat tissue and remain in the
body for a long time.
• Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. They are
not stored in the body very well.
