Are saturated fats or unsaturated fats healthy?

We know that unsaturated is double bonds between few carbon atoms and saturated fat is carbon atoms join to as many hydrogen atoms as possible. But which one is healthy?

The unsaturated fats are the ones that are healthy. Saturated means that they have a higher ratio of hydrogen atoms, therefore more 'stiff' at room temperature.

Unsaturated fats are more healthy because it forms a "kink" that doesn't allow them to stack as easily, which is why they stay in a more "liquid form."
