A member asked:
Is butter better than butter substitutes like canola spread in terms of good fats vs bad fats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short answer no: The "bad fats" are called saturated fats and the "good fats" are referred to as unsaturated. It is generally thought that the monounsaturated fats are healthier than the polyunasturated ones. Olive oil, grape seed oil, and canola oils are considered to be among the healthiest fats.
