Answer: D - Too little fat intake in the diet, less than 20% of total energy consumed, can result in poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and unfavorable changes in “good” cholesterol levels. Healthy fats are mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
Poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins can occur when the body cannot properly digest and absorb fats from the diet. Various factors, including inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and pancreatic insufficiency can cause this.
Fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K) are essential for maintaining good health. They play important roles in maintaining healthy skin, bones, and immune function. When the body cannot absorb these vitamins properly, it can lead to deficiencies and a range of health problems.
Unfavorable changes in "good" cholesterol levels, also known as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, can occur when the body is unable to metabolize fats properly. This can lead to an accumulation of cholesterol in the blood, which increases the risk of heart disease and other health problems.
Poor absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and unfavorable changes in "good" cholesterol levels can seriously affect overall health and well-being. It is important to address these issues as soon as possible to prevent further complications.
