So sounds like we should be replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats. Further googling gives: Polyunsaturated fats are found in high concentrations

So sounds like we should be replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats.
Further googling gives:
Polyunsaturated fats are found in high concentrations in
Sunflower, corn, soybean, flaxseed oils, Walnuts, Fish.
Canola oil – though higher in monounsaturated fat, it’s also a good source of polyunsaturated fat.
- uhtred 5y agoI thought the Mediterranean diet was what we should all be eating, which would include a lot of olive oil. But that document suggests olive oil is high in monosaturated fats and thus not as healthy as canola oil (poly). Lolwut??
- TillE 5y agoThere's nothing surprising about canola oil being considered very healthy. Olive oil is also good.
- tpush 5y agoOlive oil has the most research behind it, thus scientists feel most comfortable advocating for it; but that doesn't mean that something like canola/rapeseed oil isn't also similarly healthy for you, given its fatty acid ratios and polyphenol content.
- tux3 5y agoMono-saturated doesn't make sense! Saturated means all the carbon atoms have as many hydrogen atoms as they can bear. Mono-unsaturated is off by one. It's generally regarded as more healthy, and olive oil is generally strongly recommended over saturated fats. Funnily enough, your body only knows how to synthesize saturated fats (palmitate), so your own natural fat is the "bad" one :)
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoThe AHA is full of shit. Monosaturated fats and even saturated fats are endlessly better for you than Omega6 PUFAs. Your daily fat intake should be more olive oil based, get some omega3s from fish 1-2x a week, and a moderate amount saturated fats. Omega6s are fine in the levels you get in Olive Oil (there's a little), or in nuts (macademia nuts being the lowest in omega6s) and say the odd avocado. To eat them in nthe levels that the West eats them in is toxic and there are endless studies about Omega6s being inflammatory and even contributing to insulin resistance in conjunction with sugar (yes.. a fat encouraging diabetes).
- Ekaros 5y agoOr maybe it is not really about the oil used, but other components in that diet... You need certain amount of fats for fat soluble nutrients. But I don't think lot makes too much sense compared to anything else.
- rgrieselhuber 5y agoI need a few downvotes, here’s the best book on which oils are healthy vs not: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Nutrition-Your-Genes-Traditional/dp/1250113822 https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Nutrition-Your-Genes-Traditional...
- all2 5y agoYour gambit for downvotes appears to be successful.
- rgrieselhuber 5y agoNever fails on this topic.
- tpush 5y agoThat book is written by someone advocating "seed oils" being extremely unhealthy for you, a position that is not held by the relevant scientific community; actually exactly the opposite is true.
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoseed oils are unhealthy. and there are plenty of studies proving so.
- tpush 5y agoNo, this is simply not true.
- loudtieblahblah 5y agoWell you enjoy your Crisco, dude.
- rgrieselhuber 5y agoWell, as convincing as all your citations here may be, just going from first principles, I will continue to avoid the highly-processed, very profitable industrial waste known as 'seed oils.'
- nradov 5y agoThere are serious health concerns with soybean oil. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/americas-most-widely-consumed-cooking-oil-causes-genetic-changes-brain https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/americas-most-wi...
- shadowgovt 5y agoOnly if you're deeply concerned about the health of mice.
- tpush 5y agoNo (non-quack/grifter) scientist is advocating the position that soybean oil is generally (as opposed to in e.g. exorbitant amounts, but then that goes for any fat) unhealthy for humans; quite the opposite in fact.
- rileyphone 5y agoPlease point out the quackery/grifting in https://academic.oup.com/advances/article/11/6/1489/5867525?login=true https://academic.oup.com/advances/article/11/6/1489/5867525?...

- loudtieblahblah 5y agoThe AHA is passing off horrible, unhealthy information. Omega6s in high concentration are horrible for you and are inflammatory.
- landemva 5y agoRapeseed oil was used as industrial lubricant and to fatten livestock before selling to slaughter. I won't be participating in the human experiment of consuming CANadian OiL.
