Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

There is substantial scientific evidence supporting the role of lipids in the structural system of the body, particularly in maintaining the integrity and function of cell membranes, myelin sheaths around nerves, and the structure of various tissues. Lipids, including phospholipids, cholesterol, and essential fatty acids, are fundamental components of cell membranes, contributing to membrane fluidity, flexibility, and signaling. In bone health, certain lipids have roles in bone formation and maintenance, acting as signaling molecules that influence bone cell activity. Disorders of lipid metabolism can lead to structural defects, such as in demyelinating diseases that affect nerve structure. Furthermore, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, both types of dietary lipids, have been shown in clinical and epidemiological studies to support joint health by modulating inflammation, thereby supporting the structural system indirectly. While "lipids (unspecified)" is a broad category and the specific effects can vary depending on the type of lipid, the general role of lipids in the structure and function of tissues is well-established in scientific literature. Consequently, the use of lipids to support the structural system is justified by a strong scientific basis, especially in relation to cellular architecture and tissue health.
