Lipids
  1. Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, just like carbohydrates, but they have more hydrogen than oxygen.
    1. Lipids contain substances such as waxes, steroids, fats, and phospholipids. They do not dissolve in water, which means they are considered 'hydrophobic'.
      1. While consuming fat is important for health, the type of fat is important. Too much fat in the diet is not good for human health in the same way that too little fat is not good for human health.
        1. It is believed that consuming too many saturated fats in the diet can lead to increased cancer risk. This means that it is best to avoid saturated fat and choose foods that contain unsaturated fat instead, such as nuts, some vegetables, and some fish.
          1. Fat helps the body absorb certain vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K.
            1. Saturated fats will remain solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats will remain liquid.
              1. Steroids are a type of lipid that includes chlorophyll, cortisol, cholesterol, and hormones. Cholesterol and cortisol are essential for human life, and in some cases steroids are prescribed by doctors for healing illnesses.
                1. Steroids that competitors use can be damaging to human health. These are not the same natural lipid steroids.
                  1. When there is a lipid imbalance in the body the result can be high cholesterol, which is believed to be associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk.
                    1. The main categories of lipids include fatty acids, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterol lipids, prenol lipids, saccharolipids, and polyketides.
