    A saturated fatty acid is a type of fatty acid in which all the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain are connected by single bonds, meaning there are no double or triple bonds. This means they are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. They tend to be solid at room temperature and are commonly found in animal fats and tropical oils. High intake of saturated fats is often linked with increased risk of heart disease and high cholesterol levels.
