How are hydrogenated oils like saturated fats?

Hydrogenation adds hydrogen atoms to the double bonds in unsaturated fats which converts them to semisoild material, which is similar to that of saturated fats (they tend to be solid since their formation is generally stronger than that of unsaturated) The similarities; (semi)solid form.

What is the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?

I'll charitably assume that you don't have internet access properly where you live, since even a child could use Google to look this up online. Saturated fats bad. Unsaturated fats better. Polyunsaturated fats best. Trans fats not good. Hydrogenated fats bad. Unsaturated fats are more easily broken-down in our digestive system, so they cause less damage than saturated fats. They have a different structure from saturated fats, best explained as weak spots in their carbon chains. HOWEVER, carbohydrates are a much bigger danger to you, they keep your blood sugar high, which damages your arteries and all of your organs, especially the pancreas, which then can't control your blood sugar properly and the damage continues. Fat deposits can build up in the damaged areas of arteries, causing blockages. Without the damage the fats would be just pumped around to somewhere they can be useful.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of total daily calories. That means, for example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 140 of them should come from saturated fats. That's about 16 grams of saturated fats a day. You need saturated fats to feed your cells. =) So don't cut them all the way out of your diet. Also it helps you eat healthier knowing you can have saturated fats.
