The four types of fats are saturated, unsaturated (including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), trans fats, and omega-3 fatty acids. Each type has different chemical structures and impacts on health. To understand them better, consider their sources, effects on cholesterol levels, and association with heart health. Consult reputable sources or consult a nutritionist for tailored advice.
