Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fat is mainly found in animal foods, but a few plant foods are also high in saturated fats, such as coconut, coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil. Cutting back on saturated fat will likely have no benefit, however, if people replace saturated fat with refined carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most animal fats are saturated. The fats of plants and fish are generally unsaturated.
Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated fats are called “saturated” because of their chemical structure. All fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. Saturated fats are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms, which means they have the greatest number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds in their chemical structure.
