Question

What is the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?

Answer 1

Unsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature. They differ from saturated fats in that their chemical structure contains one or more double bonds.

Answer 2

It is essential to lower saturated fat causing a high rate of bad cholesterol. Saturated fat causes an elevated blood pressure of LDL-cholesterol, the bad cholesterol. Decrease the consumption of the following foods:

    Butter
    Cheese
    Certain fatty meats (mutton, lamb ...)
    Meats
    sauces
    Cooked dishes
    pastries
    Industrial products (biscuits ...)
