Results showed that the risk of developing atherosclerosis of the aorta at a young age (< 55 for men, < 65 for women) was 9 times higher for people with a parent who has suffered from the condition than for those who did not have any family history of the disease.
Fats, such as the fats in milk, need to be digested by your body. They are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol by an enzyme called lipase. Gastric lipase, secreted by the stomach lining, has a pH value for optimal activity around neutrality and would appear, therefore, to be essentially inactive in the strongly acid environment of the stomach.
Bile salts emulsify fats and oils into droplets, allowing enzymes to begin the chemical digestion of fats. Pancreatic juice containing a mixture of enzymes also enters the small intestine. These enzymes include proteases to break down proteins, lipases that digest fats and more amylase to finish splitting carbohydrates.Fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, proteins into peptides and amino acids, and carbohydrates become simple sugars such as glucose and fructose.ile salts emulsify fats and oils into droplets, allowing enzymes to begin the chemical digestion of fats.
