Effects of saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids on human health

Simply put, saturated fatty acids are fatty acids mainly composed of stearic acid (octadecanoic acid) and palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid), both of which are white solids at room temperature. Therefore, oils with high saturated fatty acids are also white solids, such as butter, sheep oil and lard, which all contain a lot of saturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids containing oleic acid (octadecadienoic acid), linoleic acid (octadecadienoic acid) and linolenic acid (octadecatrienoic acid). These unsaturated fatty acids are liquid transparent at room temperature, so oils rich in these unsaturated fatty acids, such as various vegetable oils (rapeseed oil, tea seed oil, soybean oil and olive oil), are also transparent liquids at room temperature. Of course, vegetable oil with high unsaturated fatty acid content is healthier for the body, which can soften blood vessels and dredge blood clots. Of course, everything is dual, and saturated fatty acids are not completely harmful. The correct way is to give consideration to both, and not to neglect one thing. Of course, if you have patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, you should definitely give priority to vegetable oil with unsaturated fatty acids!
