What's so Great About Monounsaturates?

[Guest guest]

Taken fromthe Spectrum Oils website: What's so Great about Monounsaturates?

 

 

Prior research seemed to point to---

" polyunsaturated fats as pivotal to good health. More recent clinical data

indicates that it is monounsaturated fats from vegetable oils that reduce the

*formation* the type of cholesterol associated with

heart disease(LDL cholesterol). In fact, monounsaturated fats

are now known to promote formation of the " good " cholesterol, " HDL " cholesterol

that

keps hearts and cardiovascular systems healthy.

HDL cholesterol specifically helps minimize the growth of plaque on

arterial and vascular walls; it is this plaque that sets the stage

for a heart attack or stroke.

 

Researchers studying the Mediterranean diet for clues to the low

incidence of heart disease in the region, and the longevity of Mediterranean

people, now believe that credit should go to the low

intake of animal fat and the copious use of olive oil, and olive oil's high

monounsaturated fat content. One other Spectrum Naturals oil also contains high

levels of monounsaturated fat, High Oleic

Safflower (76%). http://www.spectrumnaturals.com JoAnn
