Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coconut oil is high in saturated fat and low in monounsaturated fat, so it would not be the best choice for meeting the recommendation to consume 20% of our fat as monounsaturated fats. The other options, peanut oil, canola oil, and olive oil, are all good sources of monounsaturated fats and would be appropriate to use. Olive oil is particularly recommended as it also contains antioxidant compounds.
