Ex3. Read the passage and answer the questions
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total
calories as protein. The rest of the dietary energy conies from carbohydrates,
fats, and in some people, alcohol. The proportion of calories from fats varies
from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich
communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the
body. The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their
name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and
the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to
remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some
time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which
accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an
insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due
mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is
not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually
ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems
are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these
abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They also are required
by a number of other animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable.
Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.
