What are poly-unsaturated fats and mono-unsaturated fats?!


Question:

What are poly-unsaturated fats and mono-unsaturated fats?

or how about i ask whether or not it is best to have these certain kinds of fats during your daily diet.


Answers:

Unsaturated fats are better for you than saturated fats, and poly-unsaturated is better than mono-unsaturated.

The reasons why and definitions are boring chemistry--basically saturated fats have no double bonds in the lipids they are made of, mono-unsaturated fats have one double bond, and poly-unsaturated fats have multiple double bonds.
