Answers: High amounts of saturated fats are not "friendly" to anyone ... .

most saturated fats are found in animal products, so for the most part... no.

NONONONONO Most of them are animal fats.

Sorry <3

Saturated fat is a type of fat that may increase
your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, which may increase
your risk of heart disease.

They come primarily from animal products such as meat and dairy products..

in general.. saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
Coconut and palm oil (palm kernel or palm oil) also contain a
significant amount of saturated fat.

Not necessarily. You need to read labels on oils very carefully. When at all possible, use olive oil in place of other forms of fat. Olive oil is the only oil in pure form that has not been chemically processed plus the fat contained is known to reduce cholesterol.

most saturated fats are from animals. Not recommended for vegetarians

They can be. You need to know where the saturated fat is coming from.

Saturated fats can be from animal or plant sources. Animal fats are saturated naturally. Most saturated plant fats are of the hydrogenated variety, meaning an unsaturated fat is chemically altered to become saturated. If you're looking as a box of crackers, for example, and there is saturated fat content but no animal ingredients, you will undoutedly see something like "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" in the ingredient list. Saturated fats are not heart-healthy and stimulate the liver to produce excess cholesterol, so they aren't really "friendly" at all!
