High saturated fats are more stable than unsaturated fats because they don't easily react to oxygen like unsaturated fats do. Unsaturated fats are oxidized easier and thus, making them more susceptible to rancidity.

What fat is good for your body saturated or unsaturated?
Both are good and necessary for your body. Currently recommendations in this arena are that we should have equal amounts of each type of fat (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) which based on a diet that is 30% fat would be 10% from each type. However this is just an estimate; we really aren't very sure because people seem to be better on different amounts of fat. Some people actually are healthier eating more saturated fat. Based on my own experience I would recommend about equal amounts of saturated and monounsaturated fat and just a little bit of polyunsaturated fat (mostly Omega-3's such as can be found in nuts and fish). Absolutely NO trans fat is best! "Everything in Moderation" a wise and healthy woman once told me!
Why are mono-unsaturated fats the preferred fats?
Because they are a bit healthier for your body. If the fat is saturated then it is not good for you but since this is unsaturated it uis good.
