"Good fats"Are fats that are found in plant sources and consist of double carbon-hydrogen bonds.

"Bad fats" are fats that consist of each carbon atom convalently bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible. (4)

Thus, we should consume more of the good fats as good fats have actual benefits while bad fats only have drawbacks.
