Recently, the health of oil has gradually been paid attention to by everyone, generally everyone believes that vegetable oil, olive oil and tea oil in the highest content of unsaturated fatty acids, sunflower oil, peanut oil second, palm oil unsaturated fatty acid content is the lowest, saturated fatty acids account for a high proportion, the greatest harm to health.
In fact, olive oil is made from the fruit of the olive tree. It does contain 83% of the monounsaturated fatty acids - oleic acid, which has been shown to be beneficial for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
But for human health, whether saturated or unsaturated fat, it is a double-edged sword, they are not only the main nutrients that are indispensable to our human body, but also may lead to human health problems.
To say whether a fat is good for health, the key is whether the intake is appropriate and whether the proportion of fatty acid intake is reasonable.
Modern medical research shows that excessive intake of unsaturated fatty acids can also cause many kinds of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is wrong to say that a certain fat is unhealthy or a certain fat is healthy in general.
We should know that the nature of unsaturated fatty acids is more unstable, when the temperature is high, long time cooking, such as fried food, it may make these unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids and toxic trans fatty acids, so olive oil can not be used as a cooking method of frying.
This also shows that frying oil is more suitable for using palm oil that looks unhealthy, and fried food is indeed harmful to physical health. So can olive oil be used to stir-fry vegetables?
Nutritionists tell everyone that olive oil can be used to fry some medium and low temperature fast dishes, and some extra virgin olive oil contains more flavor substances and antioxidant substances, it is best to use it for cold salad or general cooking, which can retain more nutrients in olive oil.
For those stir-fry dishes with high oil temperature for a long time, it is best to use cooking oil with a high saturated fat content, but for the sake of health, it is best to use this cooking method less.
If we want to eat oil healthier, the best option is to cook each oil in the right way, and then eat vegetable oil every once in a while to absorb the advantages of various oils.
Finally, I remind everyone that no matter what oil you eat, the most beneficial and healthy premise is still the right amount. The 2011 revised Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend that the amount of cooking oil per person per person in China should not exceed 25g per person, which is equivalent to about two or three spoons of oil per white porcelain soup spoon.
