Vegetable Oils
- They have a high energy content (provide lots)
- They
contain other
nutrients.
E.g. seed
oils contain
vitamin E
- Contain
essential
fatty acids,
used for
metabolic
processes
- Tend to be unsaturated unlike animal fats
- Ussaturated fats are less healthy
- unsaturated = healthier as saturated
fats increase the cholesterol in the
blood, blocking up arteries and
increasing heart disease risk
- Ussaturated fats are less healthy
- Natural unsaturated fats like
olive/sunflower oil, reduce the amount
of cholesterol. But due to the transfats,
partially hydrogenated veg oil increases
the cholesterol, so eating lots of these
foods increases heart disease risk.
- Cooking
in food
oil
makes it
more
fattening
