Used in moderation, many oils can be beneficial to one's diet and
lifestyle. This book presents accurate information on more than two
dozen oils, examining the health claims associated with popular
oils along with the clinical research findings. In the past,
consumers were warned to avoid eating foods made with coconut oil,
but more recently opinions about this oil have shifted. Many people
now consider olive oil to be the most healthful-but is there truth
behind this idea? Today's consumers are constantly bombarded with
claims regarding consumption of oils, yet references to the
scientific studies assumedly behind these statements are rare. This
book dispels the common myths about oils, examines the health
claims associated with popular oils and fats, and presents useful
information backed by scientific findings. The book's 47 entries
cover common oils such as canola and olive oil to less commonly
used oils, such as argan, avocado, and krill oil. The research
results are gathered from international, peer-reviewed journals,
providing readers with information from credible sources. An ideal
resource for nutritionists, nutrition students, and anyone seeking
scientifically backed information about the health benefits of
oils, Healthy Oils: Fact versus Fiction serves as an indispensible
tool for making informed health decisions. Presents an
easy-to-read, broad introduction to the entire field of healthy
edible oils Provides up-to-date information derived from the latest
research that will empower readers to make wise choices about
including moderate amounts of oils in their diet Includes endnotes,
online and print references and resources, and a glossary of key
terms
