Here's why:
* Saturated refers to the fact that all the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chain are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. There are no double or triple bonds between carbon atoms.
* Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, contain at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms.
Examples of saturated fats:
* Butter
* Lard
* Coconut oil
* Palm oil
Important note: While saturated fats are often associated with negative health effects (like increased cholesterol levels), some saturated fats are essential for bodily functions. It's important to consume a balanced diet that includes both saturated and unsaturated fats.
