Unsaturated fat
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Unsaturated fat is a kind of fat. It contains double bonds whose molecules are made up of carbon atoms that are not fully saturated with hydrogen. There are two types:
- Monounsaturated; or those with one double bond
- Polyunsaturated; or with more than one double bonds
[edit] Health
Unsaturated fat is better for you than saturated fat. It can raise your HDL ("good" cholesterol).
