The Tale of Fats, Cancer, and Heart Disease
The Fats and Oils Story
A hundred years ago, shoppers had few fats to choose from. Usually, only butter and lard were available to consumers.
Today, there are enough fats and oils on the market to confuse anyone. But all of them fall into one of three categories:
- Table fats (butter and margarines)
- Cooking and salad oils
- Shortenings
To make things simpler, remember just one thing. All of these items are high in fat. In fact, the fat content of shortenings and oils is virtually identical. Butter and margarine have slightly less fat because these spreads contain a small amount of water that shortenings and oils lack.
The Different Types of Fat
The only important difference between the many fats has to do with what nutritionists call “type of fat.” Some of the fat in food is saturated, while other fats are monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. The saturated type of fat promotes heart disease, but others do not seem to do so. Somehow, still there are controversies among experts and scientists regarding correlation between saturated fats and heart diseases or/and cancers.
