Most scientists agree that saturated fats contribute to high levels of “bad” cholesterol, while monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats lower this type of cholesterol. The table below shows data about fats in some common foods. Food (14 g)Saturated fat (g)Monounsaturated fat (g)Polyunsaturated fat (g)
Canola oil1.0 8.9 3.9
Margarine1.6 5.4 3.4
Olive oil 1.9 9.9 1.4
Lard 5.0 5.8 1.4
Butter 7.9 3.7 0.5
