Polyunsaturates are bad, except for the Omega 3s, and then in moderation. Olive oil is NOT high in polyunsaturated fats. You are blowing out your ass.

Also, some saturated fatty acids are perfectly fine; the only bad saturated fatty acids are lauric, myristic and palmitic, and some of the longer chain ones that are only found in very low concentrations in foods. Stearic acid is good, and butyric, caproic, caprylic and capric are OK too.
