What is good for you: 

• Butter
• Beef and lamb tallow
• Lard
• Chicken, goose and duck fat
• Coconut, palm and sesame oils
• Cold pressed olive oil
• Cold pressed flax oil
• Marine oils

Not good for you:

• All hydrogenated oils
• Soy, corn and safflower oils
• Cottonseed oil
• Canola oil (is made from is genetically engineered rapeseed, originally only used as lubricating oil in the industry. It is toxic, and it becomes rancid quickly. Unfortunately canola oil is now present in a lot of food products, read the label!)
• All fats heated to very high temperatures in processing and frying

     I can't go into detail, but basically when the industry chemically alters the structure of oils (from cis to trans), changing them into hydrogenated oils , then those oils/fats will be absorbed by the body just like the natural oils/fats, but their altered chemical structure will wreak havoc in the cells, leading to a lot of degenerative diseases.

     Unsaturated or saturated is not a good standard by which to judge oils. It is the altering of the chemical structure that causes problems.
