Increasing monounsaturated fat and decreasing saturated fat intake could improve insulin sensitivity, but only when the overall fat intake of the diet was low. [7] However, some monounsaturated fatty acids (in the same way as saturated fats) may promote insulin resistance , whereas polyunsaturated fatty acids may be protective against insulin ...
Fat: 14 g. Fiber: 2.4 g. Fat ... 2.4 g. Fat “Peanuts are a good source of healthy, monounsaturated fats that may help reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol levels which can help lower the risk for heart ...
This diet provided 30% calories from fat, 7% calories from saturated fat, and 75 mg cholesterol per 1,000 calories. Relative to the Western diet, the TLC diet resulted in 11% lower LDL cholesterol. [8] Additional studies have looked at the benefits of plant stanols and sterols on lowering LDL cholesterol.
This savory breakfast combines heart-healthy ingredients like whole grains for fiber, avocado for monounsaturated fats, spinach for antioxidants and flaxseed for omega-3s. “These components work ...
Healthy fats, like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, play a pivotal role in many aspects of our health. Food sources of healthy fats include fatty fish (like salmon), olive oil , nuts ...
Amounts of fat types in selected foods. Although polyunsaturated fats are protective against cardiac arrhythmias, a study of post-menopausal women with a relatively low fat intake showed that polyunsaturated fat is positively associated with progression of coronary atherosclerosis, whereas monounsaturated fat is not.

The IUPAC Lipid Handbook provides a very large and detailed listing of fat contents of animal and vegetable fats, including ω−3 and −6 oils. [25] The National Institutes of Health's EFA Education group publishes Essential Fats in Food Oils. [26] This lists 40 common oils, more tightly focused on EFAs and sorted by n−6:3 ratio.
