if there's any of them that are not double bonded in fact in example if there is one that doesn't have a double bond that is now called Mono unsaturated and if there are many it is called polyunsaturated

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so monounsaturated versus polyunsaturated means a monounsaturated fat is a single double bond in the whole molecule so saturated fat no double bonds monounsaturated one double bond polyunsaturated more than one double bond
the point here is when people talk about saturated monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat they're referring to the positions of these double bonds within these long hydrocarbons that also can be of variable lengths
a saturated fat means a fatty acid hydrocarbon that has no double bonds in it a monounsaturated fat has a single double bond in it and a polyunsaturated fat has two or more
instead of one double bond now we have two or more double bonds and that's the poly so again the same long carbon chain with now 2 or 3 typically actually in foods all you really find is 2 double bonds
