Fats are one of the basic nutrients and an indispensable food component. Fats provide energy and at the same time have important impact on the function of human body. In terms of nutrition, the amount of fat consumed is important, but their composition is of at least similar importance and largely determines their effect on the appropriate function of the body. The most common problem of fats in human nutrition is addressed with regard to so called non-infectious diseases of mass prevalence and incidence, both in primary and secondary prevention.

Keywords: fats, fatty acids, nutrition, recommendations.
