Olive oil is 100% fat;
1
13663
2261
橄欖油是 100% 的脂肪
00:15
there's nothing else in it.
2
15924
1040
除此之外,沒有別的
00:16
Pancake mix, on the other hand,
3
16964
1268
鬆餅,相反地
00:18
is only about 11% fat.
4
18232
2257
只有大約 11% 的脂肪
00:20
And, yet, olive oil is good for you,
5
20489
2272
然而,橄欖油對你有益
00:22
and pancake mix is not.
6
22761
2170
而鬆餅則不然
00:24
Why is that?
7
24931
1381
為什麼?
00:27
As it turns out,
8
27511
967
因為
00:28
the amount of fat we eat
9
28478
1411
我們所吃的脂肪量
00:29
doesn't impact our weight
10
29889
1042
並不會影響我們的體重
00:30
or our cholesterol
11
30931
927
或是我們的膽固醇
00:31
or our risk of heart disease
12
31858
1206
又或是我們得到心臟病的機率
00:33
nearly as much as what kind of fat we eat.
13
33064
2860
只和我們吃進哪一種脂肪有關
00:35
But let's back up:
14
35924
1199
不過我們先回過頭來
00:37
What is fat?
15
37123
2224
什麼是脂肪?
00:39
If we were to zoom in on a salmon,
16
39347
1578
如果我們放大檢視鮭魚
00:40
which is a fatty fish,
17
40925
1078
鮭魚是一種脂肪很多的魚
00:42
past the organs,
18
42003
820
00:42
past the tissues,
19
42823
790
不看內臟、不看組織
不看內臟、不看組織
00:43
into the cells,
20
43613
1716
只看細胞
00:45
we would see that the stuff we call fat
21
45329
2092
我們就會看到我們稱為脂肪的東西
00:47
is actually made up of molecules called triglycerides,
22
47421
3205
其實是由一種稱為 三酸甘油酯的分子所組成
00:50
and they are not all alike.
23
50626
1919
而且它們還不見得都一樣
00:52
Here's one example.
24
52545
1084
舉個例子
00:53
Those three carbons on the left, that's glycerol.
25
53629
2101
左邊的那三顆碳,是甘油
00:55
Now, you can think of that as the backbone
26
55730
1532
你可以把它想像成支柱
00:57
that holds the rest of the molecule together.
27
57262
2373
能夠把其它的分子結合在一起
00:59
The three long chains on the right
28
59635
1294
右邊的那三條長鏈
01:00
are called fatty acids,
29
60929
1450
稱為脂肪酸
01:02
and it's subtle differences in the structures of these chains
30
62379
2894
這些鏈有些微的不同
01:05
that determine whether a fat is,
31
65273
1510
由此決定它們是什麼樣的脂肪
01:06
let's say, solid or liquid;
32
66783
2155
應該說,固體或是液體的
01:08
whether or not it goes rancid quickly;
33
68938
2205
會不會很快腐臭
01:11
and, most importantly, how good or how bad it is for you.
34
71143
4093
最重要的是,對你來說有多好或多壞?
01:15
Let's take a look at some of these differences.
35
75236
1788
讓我們看看有什麼不同
01:17
One is length.
36
77024
1051
第一,是長度
01:18
Fatty acids can be short or long.
37
78075
2085
脂肪酸可以是長的或短的
01:20
Another, more important difference
38
80160
1254
另外,最大的不同是
01:21
is the type of bond between the carbon atoms.
39
81414
2866
在碳原子之間是哪一種鍵
01:24
Some fatty acids have only single bonds.
40
84280
2634
有些脂肪酸只有單鍵
01:26
Others have both single and double bonds.
41
86914
2917
也有同時有單鍵和雙鍵的脂肪
01:29
Fatty acids with only single bonds
42
89831
1523
只有單鍵的
01:31
are called saturated,
43
91354
1480
稱為飽和的脂肪酸
01:32
and those with one or more double bonds
44
92834
1785
而有單鍵或更多雙鍵的
01:34
are called unsaturated.
45
94619
2048
則稱為不飽和脂肪酸
01:36
Now, most unsaturated fats are good for you,
46
96667
2589
大部份的不飽和脂肪酸 對你是有益的
01:39
while saturated fats are bad for you in excess.
47
99256
2834
而過多的飽和脂肪酸 對你則是有害的
01:42
For saturated fats, the story pretty much ends there
48
102090
2623
對飽和脂肪酸來說,大概就是這個樣子
01:44
but not for unsaturated fats.
49
104713
2407
但是對不飽和脂肪酸來說 卻不是這麼一回事
01:47
The double bonds in these molecules
50
107120
1711
雙鍵在這些分子中
01:48
have a kind of weird property;
51
108831
1684
有一種奇怪的特性
01:50
they're rigid.
52
110515
1624
它們很堅固
01:52
So, that means there are two ways
53
112139
1923
因此,有兩種方式可以
01:54
to arrange every double bond.
54
114062
1821
連結雙鍵
01:55
The first is like this,
55
115883
1122
第一種就像這樣
01:57
where both hydrogens are on same side
56
117005
1897
兩顆氫都在同一邊
01:58
and both carbons are on the same side.
57
118902
1922
兩顆碳也在同一邊
02:00
The second way is like this.
58
120824
1824
第二種方式像這樣
02:02
Now the hydrogens and carbons
59
122648
1545
氫和碳,在雙鍵對立的兩端
02:04
are on opposite sides of the double bond.
60
124193
2525
氫和碳,在雙鍵對立的兩端
02:06
Now, even though both of these molecules
61
126718
1608
即使這兩種分子
02:08
are made up of exactly the same building blocks,
62
128326
2500
都由同樣的東西組成
02:10
they are two completely different substances,
63
130826
2503
它們都還是會成為不同的物質
02:13
and they behave completely differently inside of us.
64
133329
3139
它們在我們的體內也會有不同的表現
02:16
The configuration on the left is called CIS,
65
136468
2504
左邊的這個結構稱為順式異構體 (CIS)
02:18
which you've probably never heard of.
66
138972
1404
你可能從來也沒聽過
02:20
The one of the right is called TRANS,
67
140376
1708
另一種在右邊的稱為反式異構體 (TRANS)
02:22
and you probably have heard of trans fats before.
68
142084
2629
你以前可能有聽過反式脂肪
02:24
They don't go rancid,
69
144713
1170
它們不會腐臭
02:25
they're more stable during deep frying,
70
145883
1960
它們在油炸時比較穩定
02:27
and they can change the texture of foods
71
147843
1974
而且它們可以改變食物的口感
02:29
in ways that other fats just can't.
72
149817
1989
這是其它種類的脂肪無法做到的
02:31
They're also terrible for your health,
73
151806
2291
而且它們也很不益健康
02:34
by far worse than saturated fat,
74
154097
1877
顯然比飽和脂肪酸要差得多
02:35
even though technically they're a type
75
155974
2045
即使嚴格說來
02:38
of unsaturated fat.
76
158019
1959
它們也是不飽和脂肪中的一種
02:39
Now, I know that seems crazy,
77
159978
1343
我知道聽起來很誇張
02:41
but your body doesn't care
78
161321
1196
但是你的身體並不在乎
02:42
what a molecule looks like on paper.
79
162517
2139
分子在紙上長的樣子
02:44
All that matters is the 3-D shape
80
164656
1919
重要的是它在三度空間的形態
02:46
where the molecule fits,
81
166575
1119
分子在哪裡結合
02:47
where it doesn't,
82
167694
712
分子在哪裡結合
02:48
and what pathways it interferes with.
83
168406
2584
還有它所造成的影響
02:50
So, how do you know if a food
84
170990
960
那麼,你要怎麼知道
02:51
has trans fat in it?
85
171950
1877
食物裡有沒有反式脂肪呢?
02:53
Well, the only sure way to know
86
173827
1185
嗯,唯一能夠確定的方法是
02:55
is if you see the words,
87
175012
1072
如果你在食品內容物中 看到「 部分氫化」的字眼
02:56
"partially hydrogenated" in the ingredients list.
88
176084
3171
如果你在食品內容物中 看到「 部分氫化」的字眼
02:59
Don't let nutrition labels or advertising fool you.
89
179255
2779
別讓營養標籤或廣告騙了你
03:02
The FDA allows manufacturers to claim
90
182034
2056
食品藥物管理局 (FDA) 准許製造商
03:04
that their products contain
91
184090
1669
聲稱他們的產品包含
03:05
"0" grams of trans fat
92
185759
2245
「0」克的反式脂肪
03:08
even if they actually have up to half a gram per serving.
93
188004
4631
即使事實是每份的含量超過 0.5 克
03:12
But there are no hard and fast rules
94
192635
1469
但是沒有嚴格的規定
03:14
about how small a serving can be,
95
194104
1579
限制每一份最少要是多少
03:15
and, that means, you'll have to rely on seeing those key words,
96
195683
3047
也就是說,你得依賴關鍵字
03:18
partially hydrogenated,
97
198730
1275
「部份氫化」
03:20
because that's how trans fats are made,
98
200005
2853
因為那是反式脂肪製成的方式
03:22
by partially hydrogenating unsaturated fats.
99
202858
2918
透過部份氫化製成反式脂肪
03:25
So, let's go back to our olive oil and pancake mix from before.
100
205776
3191
因此,讓我們回到先前 橄欖油和鬆餅的話題
03:28
Olive oil is 100% fat.
101
208967
2642
橄欖油是 100% 的脂肪
03:31
Pancake mix is only 11% fat.
102
211609
2730
鬆餅只有 11% 的脂肪
03:34
But olive oil is mostly unsaturated fat,
103
214339
2866
但是橄欖油幾乎都是不飽和脂肪
03:37
and it has no trans fat at all.
104
217205
2635
而且它完全不包含反式脂肪
03:39
On the other hand, more than half the fat
105
219840
2161
相反地,鬆餅中有超過一半的脂肪
03:42
in pancake mix is either saturated or trans fat.
106
222001
3007
是飽和或反式脂肪
03:45
And, so, even though olive oil has 10 times
107
225008
2331
因此,即使橄欖油的脂肪是
03:47
as much fat as pancake mix,
108
227339
1794
鬆餅的十倍
03:49
it's healthy for you,
109
229133
1460
它對你還是很健康
03:50
whereas pancake mix is not.
110
230593
1793
而鬆餅則不然
03:52
Now, I'm not trying to pick on pancake mix.
111
232386
1794
我並不是要找鬆餅的碴
03:54
There are lots of foods
112
234180
1084
有很多的食品
03:55
with this type of fat profile.
113
235264
1919
含有這種類型的脂肪
03:57
The point is this:
114
237183
1226
重點是
03:58
It's not how much fat you eat,
115
238409
1694
吃多少脂肪不重要
04:00
it's what kind of fat.
116
240103
1692
重要的是,你吃了什麼樣的脂肪
04:01
And what makes a particular fat healthy or unhealthy
117
241795
2815
還有,是脂肪的形態
04:04
is its shape.
118
244610
2001
決定它是否健康
