Is hard cooking and frying fat less healthy than liquid fat from a squeeze bottle?

Liquid shortening and frying fat from a squeeze bottle is a better choice than frying fat with a wrapper. Frying in oil is also a better alternative to baking and frying fat from a package.

The body needs fat to function properly. However, it does matter how much fat you eat and what type of fat it is: saturated fat or unsaturated fat. Saturated fat increases LDL cholesterol in the blood, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. If you eat less saturated fats, it lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease in the long term. In the table below you can see how much fat different oils and fats contain.
