Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 Hello all I've been trying to get a better handle on intaking the right amount of fats vs the very evil saturated ones. I've done a little googling, but found some of the info to be conflicting and not exactly what I was looking for. There are many informed people on this group and felt that surely a couple of you would have some reliable info/links. 1. The monounsaturated fats like in extra virgin olive oil and canola are the best, right? 2. I know that there are many different kinds of nuts and seeds that are good in that they provide a good source of healthy oil. Which oils and nuts are the best? I was hoping to find a url w/ a chart listing a variety of nuts and seeds describing their ratio of saturated, poly & mono. TIA for any input or site suggestions! karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 1. the absolute best fat is actually omega-3s, but yes, after that is mono. poly isn't horrible though. (technically omega 3 is a type of poly.) Canola has the lowest saturated fat, although some people are concerned it's made from toxic rapeseed, i'm not convinced. the next lowest in saturated fat is olive oil. Plant fat is pretty much always healthier than animal fat. (fat is after all where toxins accumulate in animals- so the toxins in livestock feed get more concentrated when livestock eat them). toxic substances (such as antibiotics) can also end up in milk / eggs. > 2. walnuts have some omega 3's, but i don't know how much saturated fat. i think almonds and cashews are both healthier than peanuts. you can usually get almond butter / soy butter in natural foods stores / Whole Foods Market, to substitute peanut butter. hope this helps, i'm sure someone else knows something i don't. dave4sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
