Answer to Question 2

2, Are believed to have a role in preventing cardiovascular disease; 3, Are polyunsaturated fats..

Rationale: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are found in canola oil, soybean oil, or can be purchased in capsule form. Research has shown that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have a role in preventing cardiovascular disease and reducing risk; therefore, increased intake of foods rich in these fatty acids is recommended. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats, which are preferred over saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats, like butter, are solid or firm at room temperature. Trans fats behave like saturated fats and should be avoided in the diet. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats.
