Poly and Moly unsaturated fats

I researched and couldn't figure out why poly and moly unsaturated fats are bad for my diet. I understand the relationship between trans fats and health but everything I read just talked about what they were and how they were constructed, not how they impact your health. Can I get pointed to a definition that would make sense to someone without a medical degree?

They aren't bad. If you understand how trans fats are bad, think of these fats doing the opposite. They raise the good and lower the bad. I would seriously question whatever source you heard this from.0

According to the daily nutrition goals on MFP I should have 0 grams per day of poly, moly, and trans fats. That's why I am a little concerned. What I read seemed to point to the poly and moly as neccesary.0

The android app says that I should be getting 20 of each.0

Poly unsaturated and mono unsaturated fats are suppoed to be better for you than saturated fat.

If you believe this, why are you here?
Poly & Moly are more about your cholesterol than fat, directly speaking. Your focus should be more on Fat, transfat, Protein & Carbs..0 -

Poly and trans I get, but what are moly fats?0

Poly and mono unsaturated fats are good for you. You want the majority of your dietary fat intake to come from these types of fats.0

Either that or Holy Moly unsaturated fats.0 -

I understand why you look at it that way but it's not the case at all. Both of those types of fat are good for you (in the proper ratios, of course). It's just there is no amount that anyone has agreed you should get in your daily diet. So the 0 isn't there to tell you how much you should have. It's just there so if you want to track that category (I do), then you can see it easily. On the app, anyway. For some reason my apps track things better than the website.0 -

Regarding trans fat; it's nearly impossible to avoid trans fats altogether if you eat meat. Trans fat is naturally occuring in meat, but in trace amounts only. The trans fat you should avoid altogether is the non-naturally occuring hydrogenated vegetable oil junk.0 -

Maybe if you made it clear what exactly you are trying to argue about, I could argue back more efficiently. Are you trying to debate that there is any need at all for conditionally essential fatty acids or that saturated fat is not needed at all? I don't quite understand.0 -
