Detailed explanation-1: -Studies show that eating foods rich in unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat improves blood cholesterol levels, which can decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke.
Detailed explanation-2: -Replacement of saturated by polyunsaturated fatty acids in the diet may lower serum very low-density and low-density lipoprotein concentrations because the liver preferentially converts polyunsaturated fatty acids into ketone bodies instead of into very low-density lipoprotein triglycerides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Trans fats are created through hydrogenation, a process that takes oil that is liquid at room temperature (unsaturated) and turns it into solid fat (saturated).
Detailed explanation-4: -Dietary unsaturated fat increases HDL metabolic pathways involving apoE favorable to reverse cholesterol transport.
