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.
