For over 40 years saturated fat, the fat found primarily in animal foods, was thought to be the main culprit for increasing cholesterol levels and causing heart disease. During this same time vegetable oils were promoted as being heart healthy because they could lower cholesterol. However, recently the evidence implicating saturated fat as being harmful to heart health has been challenged and more studies are beginning to show the harms from consuming industrially produced vegetable oils. Furthermore, monounsaturated fats, found in olives, olive oil, certain nuts and avocadoes have been promoted as being part of a healthy Mediterranean diet. This paper will provide a brief review comparing the effects of saturated fat to monounsaturated fat.
四十多年来,饱和脂肪(主要存在于动物食品中)一直被认为是导致胆固醇水平升高和心脏病的主要元凶。在同一时期,植物油被宣传为对心脏健康有益,因为它们可以降低胆固醇。然而,最近,将饱和脂肪与对心脏健康有害联系起来的证据受到了质疑,越来越多的研究开始表明食用工业生产的植物油所带来的危害。此外,橄榄、橄榄油、某些坚果和鳄梨中所含的单不饱和脂肪被宣传为健康的地中海饮食的一部分。本文将简要综述饱和脂肪与单不饱和脂肪的作用。
