In this video, Dr. Berg talks about saturated fats and gives some reasons why they are healthy if taken in an organic, grass-fed way. It was found that unsaturated fats in the form of vegetable oil nearly doubles the rate of death compared to saturated fat. There are several healthy fats including:     Caprylic     Lauric     Palmitic     Butyric These fats are involved in cellular membranes (50% of the fat makes up these structures) These fats help bones absorb calcium, they help give the raw materials for making hormones, and are essential for the immune system.
