In recent years, some medical experts have introduced findings that claim saturated fat isn’t as bad as we think. Yet others still strongly argue it’s a big no-no. That being said, consuming a moderate-fat diet from various sources (prioritizing unsaturated fats whenever possible) seems to...

When 1% cholesterol was added to the diet, hepatic cholesterol synthesis was suppressed but the degree of suppression was greater in rats consuming unsaturated vs. saturated fats. This was associated with greater accumulation of cholesterol in livers from rats consuming unsaturates and a reduction in...
Overfeeding polyunsaturated fat compared with saturated fat does not differentially influence lean tissue accumulation in individuals with overweight: a ra... Fatty acids may influence lean tissue volume and skeletal muscle function. We previously reported in young lean participants that overfeeding PUFA ...
Synergism between added fats, due to blending vegetable oils with animal fats or using basal diets with unsaturated lipid fractions, led to increased animal fat utilization values. The utilization of saturated fatty acids was especially affected by synergism, whereas utilization of unsaturated fatty ...
the fat is said to be unsaturated. Unsaturated fats generally have lower melting points than saturated fats and are often liquids (oils) at room temperature. Unsaturated fats can be converted to saturated fats by a process called hydrogenation; since this usually raises the melting point of the ...
Most animal fats are solid at ordinary temperatures; milk fats are usually characterized by the presence of short-chain carboxylic acids (butyric, caproic, and caprylic); and marine oils contain a large number of very long chain highly unsaturated acids containing up to six double bonds and up ...

Unsaturated fats are considered better for you because they are primarily derived from plant foods. Moreover, they can help keep your blood cholesterol levels within a normal range. On the other hand, a diet that contains a lot of saturated fats, which are primarily found in animal products ...
