The polyunsaturated fats are considered now as healthful.
monounsaturated
Nuts contain mostly fats, some protein, and few carbohydrates. There are three kinds of fats found in nuts, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated fats. Most nuts have more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (good fats) than saturated fat, making them a very healthy choice as a snack or as part of a generally good nutrition plan. Avocados also contain these good fats along with many vitamins and minerals especially lutein (good for the eyes) along with almost 20 other vitamins and minerals.
Typically your polyunsaturated oils (corn) go rancid fast than more monounsaturated oils (olive), because polyunsaturated oils are more unstable. Saturated oils, though they have a reputation of being bad for you, are the most stable oils and, therefore, they keep much better. They also tend to have higher cooking temps.

Fat, is the most concentrated form of food energy. Fats are necessary for growth and healthy skin, also in the transport of fat-soluble vitamins in the body. Types of fat our bodies need are saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. Saturated fats are found mostly in foods of animal origin such as red meats, cheese, whole milk, lunch meats, and etc. Polyunsaturated fats are found in plant foods and are healthier to consume. Monounsaturated fats which also come from plant foods, can replace saturated fats in the diet. When these replace saturated fats, it decreases total LDL's ( known as "bad "cholestrol) and raises HDL's ( known as "good "cholestrol).
It can be in several forms: polyunsaturated (like corn oil, not too bad), monounsaturated (like olive oil, actually good for you), saturated (like lard, bad for you), and trans-fat (like most margarine, and VERY bad for you. Those are the most common ones.
As long as they are not 'Saturated' or 'Trans Fat', they are good for health... The main difference between good fats and bad fats is that the bad (trans and saturated) will raise your blood cholesterol levels. The good (monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat) will actually help lower it. This will in turn put you at a lower risk for heart disease.Monounsaturated fat and Polyunsaturated fat LOWER your LDL and RAISE your HDL. See below:The most well-known compound fat is the lipoprotein, which comes in several different densities, the two most famous being LDL and HDL. * Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) transports cholesterol and nutrients from your liver through the blood system and into your cells for use. * High density lipoproteins transport cholesterol away from your tissues and back to your liver where it is recycled or eliminated.
True
They are unhealthy because most of them contain saturated fat or they have too much oil in them.
Yes, it tastes much better. Most tasty foods like butter have saturated fats. Unsaturated fats are more nutritious than saturated fats.
Mostly Monounsatured Fat. Looking at a bottle right now and you have 10g of Monounsaturated Fat, 2g of Polyunsatured Fat, and 2g of Saturated Fat. Oleic acid is the fat that comes to mind when most people think of Olive Oil and its a type of Monounsaturated fat. Overall, olive oil is one of the best things that you can put in your body and I live off of it.
The most unhealthy food for kids are foods high in saturated fats or foods that contain high levels of salt and sugar .e.g.Fast FoodsSweetsChocolate
Saturated fat: is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids. non-saturated: fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there are one or more double bonds in the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond.
saturated fats (butter) tend to be solid at room temperature whereas monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats do not (mustard oil is a mixture of mono- and polyunsaturated fats)
