For a low-cholesterol diet, toss the butter, trans fat margarines, and polyunsaturated oil. Replace them with canola oil, olive oil, or plant sterol spreads.
Olive oil and peanut oil are good examples of oils that contain primarily monounsaturated fat. Even canola oilhas a about a 2:1 ratio of monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fat.
Canola oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels, and has moderate levels of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. Yes.....Canola oil is easily available in India ........
stick margarine with canola oil
Every food with fat contains at least some saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. So yes, coconut contains some monounsaturated fat- but it's not very much. Coconut oil is about 90% saturated, which is extremely high compared to any food stuff. Olive oil, canola oil, certain nuts (walnuts and pecans especially) even avocados would be better sources of monounsatured fat
None or negligible amounts. Canola is made of fat.
Their is: Butter Lard Fat in meats Olive oil Peanut oil Their is also like Monounsaturated fat, Polyunsaturated fat, Saturated fat, and Trans Fat
The lipid composition of plant-derived oils differ depending on the source. Some plant oils contain more saturated fat than unsaturated. These include palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil. Other oils, such as sunflower and soybean oil contain mainly polyunsaturated fat and canola and olive oil is rich in mono-unsaturated oil. Margarine is produced by partially hydrogenating the unsaturated fats, to make them more solid, so part of the health benefit of these oils is then lost.
Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.
It has to say in the back of the bottle
The fats from plant seeds are polyunsaturated, meaning they remain in a fluid state at room temperature. There are many different kinds of commercially refined vegetable based oils, including canola or rapeseed oil, soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, and peanut oil.
Sunflower oil is modestly low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated fat, it's alright. It's not the best oil to choose though. Canola and olive oil seem to have better ratios of fat- they're lower in saturated and higher in monounsaturated fat.
