Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A small amount of fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body cannot make itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E. These vitamins are fat-soluble, which means they can only be absorbed with the help of fats.

Saturated fats contributed approximately 7.5% total energy and harmful trans-fatty acids contributed negligible amounts.
