Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Butter is a/an ____
A
Saturated fat
B
Unsaturated fat
C
Trans-fat
D
Saturated protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Butter is made from churned milk or cream, and the animal fats in it have higher levels of saturated and trans fats. These fats can lead to higher cholesterol, greater chance of heart disease, and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol-the “good” cholesterol that unclogs arteries.

Detailed explanation-2: -There is no such thing as a completely saturated or a completely unsaturated fat; every fat is a combination of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Butter, beef suet, and tallow are about 50% saturated, but all other animal fats are more unsaturated than they are saturated.
