Saturated fatty acids are mainly found inanimal products such as meat, cheese or butterAn increased intake of saturated fatty acids also increases blood lipid levels and cholesterol levels rise to unhealthy levels.

Monounsaturated fatty acids

Polyunsaturated fatty acids

The last fatty acid category consists of thepolyunsaturated fatty acids. They have several double bonds between the carbon atoms.
