Oil quality: Saturated versus Unsaturated fatty acids
Public health and medical experts generally agree that consuming large quantities
of saturated fatty acids can increase serum cholesterol levels
- Restricting the level of saturated fat in a diet is one way to reduce serum cholesterol
- Saturated fatty acids that contribute most to serum cholesterol are lauric acid,
myristic acid, and palmitic acids
Types of fatty acids
- saturated no double bonds monounsaturated one double bond
- polyunsaturated two or more double bonds
Soybean oil is low in saturated fatty acids, and is recommended by many leading
health associations as one of the vegetable oils of choice
Coconut oil and palm kernel oil are high in saturated fatty acids
