Hydrogenated fats actually are vegetable oil blasted with hydrogen, so these fats are behave like saturated fats. This hydrogen makes the fat harder so it's not at all healthy.
Saturated fats haven't any carbon-carbon double bonds, in other words it fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.
Hydrogen gas pumped through the mixture at high pressure, and then the excited hydrogen atoms penetrate the vegetable oil molecules and change them into trans-fats.
So it is always recommended to consume unsaturated fats instead of other fats.

What is it called When hydrogen has been added to unsaturated fats?
The chemical process in which hydrogen atoms are added to unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats is hydrogenation.
Is saturated fat a trans fat?
No. Trans fats are unsaturated.
What are the types of fats?
Poly-unsaturated Mono-unsaturated Saturated
What are two type of fats?
Saturated and Unsaturated.
Does mayonnaise have saturated fat unsaturated fat or what type of fat?
Saturated Fat and MAYBE Trans Fat depending on the brand.
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
trans fat
What kind of fat is found in donuts?
You are probably referring to "trans" fats. These refer to hydrogenated fats (oils that have added hydrogen through chemical processing and remain solid at room temperature), and their severely unhealthy nature is undisputed.
How are trans fats similar to both saturated and unsaturated?
Trans fats made from plant sources of fat. Plant fats tend to comprise mostly of unsaturated fatty acids which is why oils are not solid. They are chemically altered to have more hydrogen which results in them being more solid like animal fats such as butter which are higher in saturated fatty acids. Chemically trans fats are unsaturated fats but structurally they are like saturated fats.
Which fat is better for you saturated fat polyunsaturated fat hydrogenated fat trans fatty acids?
polyunsaturated fat
What is worse trans fat or saturated fat?
In order to make a trans fat, an unsaturated fat must be heated to high temperatures, which greatly increases the rate of oxidation. The amount of oxidated fats in the diet is one of the chief factors in the development of atheromas in arteries. So while when eating unsaturated fats you will generally be consuming some oxidized fatty acids, when you eat trans fats you will be consuming a substantially larger quantity.
Are hydrogenated oils the same as trans fat?
No, saturated fats and trans fats are different. Saturated fat increases low-density lipoprotein, which is bad for you. Trans fats do the same thing, but also lower high-density lipoprotein, which is good for you. Trans fats are a lot worse.
What are lipid types other than unsaturated?
The two types are saturated and unsaturated. In the unsaturated there are two subtypes: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. There are five isomer types: cis-, trans-, ortho-, meta-, and para-
