The daily level of saturated fats?
There is no RDA for saturated fat, nor is there a Tolerable Upper Intake Level. The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Science recommends keeping saturated fat as low as possible while consuming a nutritionally adequate diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that not more than 10 percent of total calories should be from saturated fat.
How do saturated fats afffect the body?
accumulate in the liver, blood stream and cause clotting which can leads to heart attack, stroke and thrombosis.. it can also make you fat.
What is the definition of Saturated fat?
With organic compounds, you can have carbon atoms bonded together with single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds. If all of the carbon bonds in a fat are single bonds, the fat is saturated. If one of the bonds is a double bond, it is mono-unsaturated. If more than one bond is unsaturated, it is polyunsaturated. Sometimes industries add hydrogen to a double bond and make it hydrogenated. They can add it in one of two ways. They can make it a trans fat or they can make it a cis fat. Nature also hydrogenates fats. Nature makes cis fats. Your body has no problem with cis fats. Nature does not make trans fats. Your body has problems with trans fats. Industries can produce cis fats but find it easier to produce trans fats. Making trans fats illegal will force them to make cis fats.
What is the problem with eating saturated fats?
Some saturated fats are good for you and may be essential. The problem in modern countries is excessive saturated fats--not only do they make you fat but they can contribute to blocked blood vessels which can cause heart disease or strokes.There is some evidence that excessive fat consumption also can contribute to cancer.

Why plants use oils but not fats as fats provide more energy than oils?
Fats and oils are the same thing. Oils are often plant based fats, while animal based fats aren't typically referred to as oils. Oils and fats both provide 9 kilocalories of energy per gram. Animal based fats are typically comprised of saturated and monounsaturated fats, while plant based fats are mostly polyunsaturated fats with some saturated fats and some monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while oils (unsaturated fats) are liquid at room temperature. Some plant based oils high in saturated fats are: cocoa butter, coconut oil, palm oil, and avocado oil,... among others. Some like cocoa butter (used to make chocolate) have more saturated fats (57-64%) than pork fat (lard) [35%]. Though beef fat (and butter), at 80-95%, most definitely have the highest percentage.
How does hydrogenation of polyunsaturated fats make them more solid-like?
Organic molecules consist mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and (often) oxygen atoms. Saturated fats refer to those fats whose molecules contain all the hydrogen atoms they can. Unsaturated fats contain some double bonds between some of the carbons instead. Hydrogenation breaks the double bonds, making two single bonds for each carbon; one of those will stay between the carbons, and the others will attach to hydrogen atoms supplied from some other substance. A very simple example would be ethane: H3C-CH3, which is saturated, and ethene: H2C=CH2, which is unsaturated. By breaking one of the two carbon-carbon bonds and substituting hydrogen atoms, the ethene will convert to ethane.
