Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Timothy's diet shows an unhealthy excess of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), which can increase the risk of heart disease, and a low intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), indicating a possible deficiency of essential fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are not in excess, so there's no indication of an unhealthy level of MUFAs.
