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.
