Unsaturated fat is better than saturated fat. Unsaturated chains have 'room' where they can chemically react and be broken down, where a saturated alkane does not.
WRONG! Trans-fatty acids are the worst type of fats you can get! Omega 3 and other oils, especially those from fish, are 'good' fats. Flaxseed oil, etc., are examples of good fats. Trans-fatty acids, such as those contained in margarine and in a lot of processed foods, are the truly evil fats in the world. Avoid them with your life!
Peanuts have no significant transfatty concentration.
I was going to comment on that, it didnt' sound right. trans-fatty acids are like, hydrogenated fats.. I don't think any natural thing has hydrogenated fats. Poly and monounsaturated fats, on the other hand....
