    1 g
    2 % DV
    Lipids (fats) are essential to your body. They are an important source of energy. However, an excessive consumption is associated with weight gain and higher risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats are preferable to saturated or trans fats.
  • Saturated fats
    0.1 g
    1 % DV

If consumed in excess, they can have adverse effects on cardiovascular health, including increases in LDL-cholesterol levels.
