Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sunflower oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids,and butter is rich in saturated fatty acids;therefore,this switch would have the best effect.Shortening actually has higher amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lower amounts of saturated fatty acids than does coconut oil.Olive oil contains lower amounts of saturated fatty acids than does margarine,but it is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids,not polyunsaturated fatty acids.Both canola oil and soybean oil have relatively low amounts of saturated fatty acids;canola oil contains mostly monounsaturated fatty acids,whereas soybean oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
