一、acid 酸 酸性的 (acid base balance 酸碱平衡)

　　二、cholesterol 胆固醇

　　The saturated (饱和)fats raise blood cholesteroland contribute to heart disease,while the unsaturated fats in vegetable oil and fish oil lower the risk of heart disease.

　　六、 LDL: low density lipoprotein 低密度脂蛋白

　　HDL: high density lipoprotein 高密度脂蛋白

　　Most nutritionists recommend the monounsaturated(单一不饱和的) fats in olive and canola oils(玉米油) because they slightly lower LDL and slightly raise HDL.

　　用干果取代含有大量饱和脂肪的“垃圾”食品(如薯片和炸面圈)，就可以降低血液中甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(有害的)的水平，同时提高高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的水平——这是预防心脏病的完美方法。
