Humans have been saturating vegetable oils into Fats by passing hydrogen, in presence of nickel as a catalyst in industry since long. And in human body large amount, almost 15 to 20 kg, Fat is stored in 'Fat cells'. Which is there in people eating vegetable diet also. It means body has a mechanism to 'saturate' oils into Fat. Human body can not add double bond to Fats after tenths carbon so you have to take 'essential' Fatty acids like Linoleic and Linolenic acid and Arachidonic acids in your diet.
