Are unsaturated fatty acids more good for are body than saturated fatty acids?
In general, yes. This is because the unsaturated fatty acids have a double covalent bond in the fatty acid chain "tails", which do not stack neatly when put into the membranes of the cells.

This pulls cholesterol out of the circulating blood, which then reduces the risk of heart disease.
