IFM Free - Fats and Oils - PDF DOWNLOAD

Fats and oils provide a lot of energy in a relatively small amount of food. Once eaten, fat can be stored by the body for later use. When food is scarce, this stored fat becomes a source of fuel.

Fat also provides necessary support for the brain, connective tissue, and digestive system. In short, fat plays an important role in health, and is an essential component of a balanced diet.
