Why Palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other plant oils?
All oils can be split into 3 fatty acids and glycerin and all oils contain a mixture of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. As a rule-of-thumb, oils from animals are mainly saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Plant oils are primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Coconut oil has the highest percentage of saturated fats of all the oils. It contains 87% saturated (SAT), 6% monounsaturated (MUFA), and 2% polyunsaturated (PUFA). Palm oil is 36% SAT, 49% MUFA, and 14% PUFA. Beef fat is 50% SAT, 42% MUFA, and 4% PUFA. Butter is 63% SAT, 26% MUFA, and 4% PUFA. Pork fat is 39% SAT, 45% MUFA, and 11% PUFA. Olive oil is 14% SAT, 72% MUFA, and 10% PUFA. Vegetable oils have a much higher percentage of PUFA. For example, corn oil has 13% SAT, 28% MUFA, and 55% PUFA. Flaxseed oil is 9% SAT, 20% MUFA, and 66% PUFA.
Which vitamin protects PUFA in the cell from free radical attack?

What is single cell oils?
Single cell oils (SCO) are the edible oils extracted from micro-organisms-the single-celled entities that are at the bottom of the food chain.The best producers with the highest oil contents are various species of yeasts and fungi with several key algae that are also able to produce high levels of nutritionally important PUFA. Their potential to produce PUFA has now galvanized the current interest in these SCO as oils rich in highly desirable fatty acids essential for our well being and not readily available either from plants or animals
What does the term 'polyunsaturated' on a margarine container mean?
It means that this margarine contains (one or more) types of polyunsaturated fats.Polyunsaturated fats are triglycerides in which the hydrocarbon tails constitutes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (fatty acids possessing more than a single carbon-carbon double bond)."Unsaturated" refers to the fact that the molecules contain less than the maximum amount of hydrogen. These materials exist as cis or trans isomers depending on the geometry of the double bond. 'Cis-bond' fats are more healthy than trans-fats.Some types of PUFA's:Omega-3,6 fatty acidOmega-3, 6, 9 fatty acidConjugated linoleic acid
How much energy do fats contain?
Each gram of fat has 9 Calories. Compare this with 4 Calories per gram of carbohydrate or protein. So it is clear that fats of all types including saturated, PUFA, MUFA, cholesterol, trans-fat are very high in energy (more than twice as much as in carbs). They are called calorie dense. To lose weight you should choose food low in fat and trans-fat. Better avoid trans-fat, fried and baked food. Eat natural fat: peanuts, almonds, cashew etc.
