Processed fat (oil) vs whole food fat

Is there a difference in the way the body processes these? I know that a processed carb is processed much faster than a whole carb that still contains its original fiber and such. I was wondering if the same concept applied to processed fat vs whole food fat.

Answer

Big difference actually.

Processed vegetable oils like corn, sunflower, canola etc. Have a much higher omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acid ratio making them significantly more inflammatory in nature compared to unprocessed oils like EV olive, coconut, ghee, butter, animal fat oil (tallow, lard) - which have a much more balance o6 onto o3 ratio, keeping them anti-inflammatory in nature.
