Most vegetable fats have higher amounts of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have a minimal effect on blood cholesterol. Animal fats are high in saturated fatty acids, which increase blood cholesterol. Approximately 98 of all lipids in food and 90 of all lipids in the human body are in the form of triglycerides, which have been linked to cardiovascular disease. Trans fatty acids are created when vegetable oils are hydrogenated in food processing; they raise bad cholesterol while lowering good cholesterol.
