contain no double bonds between carbon atoms
Saturated fats, also known as saturated fatty acids, are a type of fat molecule that have no double bonds between carbon atoms because they are saturated with hydrogen atoms. These fats are typically solid at room temperature and are found in animal products like butter, cheese, and red meat, as well as some plant oils like coconut and palm oil. High intake of saturated fats has been linked to increased levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood, which can raise the risk of heart disease.
