Njengoba kusungulwa ososayensi, igramu eyodwa yamafutha lapho igaywa emzimbeni emikhiqizweni yokugcina (amanzi nekhabhoni dioxide) inikeza amandla kabili ngokulingana kwamaprotheni noma ama-carbohydrate. Kodwa ukukhipha ngokuphelele amafutha kokubili imifino nezilwane ezisuka ekudleni kwawo akukafaneli. Iqiniso liwukuthi lapho udla imikhiqizo enezilwane ezivela emzimbeni, umzimba wethu uthola into enjenge-cholesterol. Yebo, i-cholesterol efanayo, enokuningi ngokweqile inomphumela omubi esimweni sempilo yethu, futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke kuphazamisa umsebenzi wesimiso senhliziyo. Kodwa ungakhohlwa ukuthi le cholesterol efanayo ingenye yezingxenye eziyinhloko ze-fat metabolism emzimbeni womuntu. Ngaphandle kokubamba iqhaza kwakhe, kuba yinto engenakwenzeka ukufeza enye ye-biosynthesis ebaluleke kakhulu emzimbeni wethu. Isibonelo, lapho kungekho khona i-cholesterol, ama-hormone ama-steroid angenakwenzeka, futhi ukutholakala kwezifo ezinjalo ze-hormonal, njengoba uyazi, kunemiphumela emibi kakhulu yesimo somzimba jikelele. Ngakho-ke, nakuba inani lemfuyo ekudleni kufanele lilinganiselwe, akukadingekile ukuba lingabakhulumi ngokuphelele ekudleni, ngisho nokudla kokunciphisa umzimba. Into kuphela ongayithola ukuyeka ukusebenzisa amafutha isikhathi esifushane kakhulu, isibonelo, ngesikhathi okuthiwa "ukulayishwa usuku", lapho izitsha eziyinhloko etafuleni lethu zingumkhiqizo wemifino noma imikhiqizo ephansi ye-lactic acid.
Ngokuqondene namafutha emifino yemifino, okuqukethwe kwawo kwe-caloric kuphakeme kakhulu kunalokho kwezilwane zezilwane. Ukuhlukanisa ngemifino yemifino ebonakalayo evela ezilwaneni kalula: iqiniso liwukuthi amafutha amaningi emifino ekushiseni kwamahhala asezindaweni ezimanzi, futhi amafutha esilwane - avela eqinile. Kodwa omunye umehluko, okubaluleke kakhulu empilweni yethu, uhlala emisebenzini ehlukene yemvelo yalezi zinhlobo zezinto. Kuvela ukuthi amafutha emvelaphi yemifino aqukethe ukubunjwa kwawo okungasetshenzisiwe amafutha acids - linoleic, linolenic ne-arachidonic, okuyizinto eziwusizo kakhulu zokugcina impilo yethu. Lesi sizathu sokubusa komsoco, ngokusho ukuthi umzimba wethu kufanele unikeze inani elidingekayo lamafutha, hhayi nje kuphela ngezindleko zemvelaphi yezilwane, kodwa futhi ngenxa yokudla okunamafutha anemifino. Ngendlela, njengamanje ezindaweni zokudla izitshalo zemifino zihlobo oluhlanzekile kakhulu - liyi-sunflower, umnqumo, i-soya kanye namanye amafutha yemifino. Ukuqinisekisa izidingo zansuku zonke emzimbeni wethu kulezi zinhlayiya zamathambo ezingasetshenzisiwe, ezimbalwa nje wezipuni zamafutha zemifino, esizisebenzisayo lapho silungiselela ama-saladi yemifino.
Ngakho-ke, isidingo sokuba khona ekudleni kwethu kwamafutha kokubili isitshalo nesilwane semvelaphi sisobala futhi sekuyisikhathi eside sibonakalisiwe ezingeni lesayensi. Ngakho-ke nokudla okuqinile kakhulu ekunciphiseni isisindo, akufanele ukhiphe ngokuphelele ukudla okuqukethe amafutha ohlwini lokudla okudliwe.
