Olives_In_Olive_Oil_MUFA

MUFAS – Monounsaturated Fatty Acids, are found along with saturated fat in natural foods such as red meat, whole milk products, nuts and high fat fruits such as olives and avocados. Olive oil is about 75% monounsaturated fat while tea seed oil is commonly over 80% monounsaturated fat. Canola oil and Cashews are both about 58% monounsaturated fat. Tallow (beef fat) is about 50% monounsaturated fat and lard is about 40% monounsaturated fat. Other sources include macadamia nut oil, grapeseed oil, groundnut oil (peanut oil), sesame oil, corn oil, popcorn, whole grain wheat, cereal, oatmeal, safflower oil, sunflower oil, tea-oil Camellia, and avocado oil.

MUFAs as they are commonly known, are considered to be the “good fats”.

Dr. Eisenberg and his co-authors listed out several ideas on how legislation can take control of the rising number of obese people. Obesity is frequently blamed for the number of Type 2 diabetes cases as well as an increase of people diagnosed with heart disease.
