Is unsaturated fat better than saturated fat?

0

A high fat intake, particularly of saturated fat has been linked to coronary heart disease, so for many people it is important to watch the type and amount of fat they eat. • Whilst unsaturated fat is a better choice than saturated fat, it still has the same amount of calories so if you’re watching your weight you need to limit the amount that is eaten. • In cooking for example its better to grill food than to fry it, but if it must be fried, use an unsaturated oil like sunflower or olive oil rather than an animal fat like butter or lard.
