Sunflower oil contains predominantly linoleic acid in triglyceride form. The British Pharmacopoeia lists the following profile:[1]
There are several types of sunflower oils produced, such as high linoleic, high oleic and mid oleic. High linoleic sunflower oil typically has at least 69% linoleic acid. High oleic sunflower oil has at least 82% oleic acid. Variation in unsaturated fatty acids profile is strongly influenced by both genetics and climate.
Diet and cardiovascular benefits
Sunflower oil is high in the essential vitamin E and low in saturated fat. The two most common types of sunflower oil are linoleic and high oleic. Linoleic sunflower oil is a common cooking oil that has high levels of the essential fatty acids called polyunsaturated fat. It is also known for having a clean taste and low levels of trans fat. High oleic sunflower oils are classified as having monounsaturated levels of 80% and above. Newer versions of sunflower oil have been developed as a hybrid containing linoleic acid. They have monounsaturated levels lower than other oleic sunflower oils. The hybrid oil also has lower saturated fat levels than linoleic sunflower oil.[4] Sunflower oil of any kind has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits as well. Diets combined with a low fat content and high levels of oleic acid have been suggested to lower cholesterol which, in turn, results in a smaller risk of Heart disease.[5] Sunflower oils fit this criteria. Studies of adults suggested that a balanced diet in which small quantities of saturated fats are replaced with sunflower oil has detectable cholesterol-reducing benefits. Research suggests that lower cholesterol levels can be caused by balances of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

Pfffttt, no silly
Yes, sunflowers and sunflower oils contain a low level of trans fat. However, many experts believe that there are no safe levels of trans fat. If this is a concern for you, then you can find other oils such as canola oil.
You can get sunflower oil from WalMart for less than $12 for a gallon.
yes
In 50g of sunflower seeds there are 292 calories. There are 10.5g of protein in this amount of sunflower seeds, and 25.5g of fat.
5,000 cubic meters of sunflower oil = 5 million liters.
In 2001 world production of sunflower oil was 8.3 million metric tons
Saturated fat is usually animal fat such as fatty meat, pork, oily salmons while unsaturated fat is plant fat such as peanuts, sunflower oil,.....
Slightly 500 to 600 ml of sunflower oil can be found in an one acre area
Very much so!!
Sunflower seeds are ground and the oil obtained from them, which is then refined and packaged.
