Which is healthier: polyunsaturated or mono-unsaturated fats?

Answer 1

Mono-unsaturated fats are more healthier. Poly's can cause plaque of the arteries.

Edit: Clarifying my response. Polyunsaturated fats are fragile and unstable to heat and light and can turn into trans-saturated fats and also break down into other toxins. It's for this reason, it is recommended to keep them in the refrigerator and in a dark container. Mono-unsaturated fats are more stable and less likely compared to polys to turn into trans fats but mono-unsaturated fats can still be turned into trans fat the longer you cook with them.

Answer 2

Polyunsaturated and mono-unsaturated fats are on the same

level you need both of these fats one is not healthier than the other.
