It can cause cancer.
Lard has more saturated fats
cooking oil
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat.
Fats are classified as saturated, monounstaturated or polyunstaturated. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Animal products --meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products--and solid shortenings are the major sources of saturated fats. Tropical oils such as coconut oil and palm kernal oil are also rish in saturated fats. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fates are liquid at room temperature. Polyunsaturated fats are found in vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and cottonseed oil. High levels of monounsaturated fats are found in olive oil and canola oil.
Good fats are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, as opposed to saturated fats. Likewise, "good" lipoprotein is HDL and "bad" lipoprotein is LDL. An example of a "good" (heart-healthy) fat would be olive oil. An example of a "bad" (artery-clogging) fat would be margarine.
saturated fats turn to liquid at room temp and higher but otherwise they are solid
Coconut oil is high in saturated fats, which can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. It is recommended to consume coconut oil in moderation to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
You have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fat molecules. You have no such double bonds in the structure of saturated fat molecules. You have all the single bonds between the carbon atoms.
Trans fats are man made by adding hydrogen atoms to vegetable oil. This hydrogenation allows the vegetable oil to remain solid at room temperature just like a saturated animal fat.
The fat that is solid at room temperature is Saturated fat. There are three main categories of fat: Saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. It is beneficial to eat fats that are liquid at room temperature such as olive oil. Examples of solid fats include: butter, lard, margarine, tallow, coconut oil, palm oil, shortening, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, and fully hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Saturated fats, for both animal and vegetable
An oil is a type of fat. Fats are divided into saturated and unsaturated. Generally, saturated fats come from animals and are solid at room temperature, and unsaturated fats come from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. Oils are most often examples of unsaturated fats, such as canola oil.
