But be careful, the type of saturated fat tends to increase the risk of various diseases if consumed in excess.

Therefore, it is important to limit the consumption of foods that contain saturated fat. If you eat too much saturated fat will trigger heart disease and strokes.

There are at least three categories of fat, namely saturated fat, unsaturated fat, and trans fat. The whole fat is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Saturated fats with hydrogen molecules contain only single bonds between carbon molecules. Meanwhile, unsaturated fats have at least one double bond between carbon molecules. The density of hydrogen molecules causes saturated fat to become full.
