Unsaturated fats - A categorization of fats which are normally liquid at room temperature. There are two classifications of unsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats is derived from plants and can be found in olives, avocados and cooking oils such as olive oil, peanut oil and canola oil. The other is polyunsaturated fats, which can be found in grains and seeds such as corn, soybeans, safflower and as well as from fish. Unsaturated fats as a whole helps in reducing the levels of LDL cholesterol and maintain HDL cholesterol(the good cholesterol), although too much consumption of polyunsaturated fats may reduce levels of HDL cholesterol.
