Whats the difference between types of fat?

Question

Are trans fat and saturated fat the unhealthy kinds? And is monosaturated and polysaturated not as bad for your health?

Answer 1

There are 3 main types of fat. Unsaturated Fat, Saturated Fat, and Trans Fat. There are 2 types of Cholesterol in our bodies: good cholesterol(HDL) and bad(LDL). Unsaturated Fats lower bad choleseterol and raise good chol. Saturated raise both, and trans fat lowers good and raises bad. So as you can see, Unsaturated Fats are good for you and trans fats are the worst fats.

Answer 2

Saturated and trans fat are worse for you than unsaturated fat. You can tell if something is unsaturated by it's state at room temperature. Unsaturated will be a liquid (olive oil, etc); and saturated will be solid (lard, butter, etc.)
