They are usually found in carbohydrate-containing foods, are easily absorbed, and are also easily destroyed by heat and cooking. Fat soluble vitamins are the vitamins A, D, E, and K. These are typically found in fat-containing foods. Fat-soluble vitamins absorption varies from 40-90%. These vitamins are not as easily destroyed and are stored in the body very readily.
