Following is a list of heart healthy fats recommended by the American Heart Association:
Canola Oil: It has approximately 60% less saturated fats than any other oil.
Corn oil: Excellent for cooking because it can tolerate high temperatures without smoking.
Safflower oil: Good for salads because it will not solidify in the refrigerator.
Light an dark sesame oil: The dark version, made from toasted sesame seeds, is too intense for cookings and is considered a flavoring element; the light, made from untoasted sesame seeds, is extremely good for cooking.
Vegetable Oil: Most vegetable oils are made from soybeans, making them especially healthy--high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat but low in saturated fat.
Last but NOT Least
Pure and Virgin Olive oil: Entirely monounsaturated. Pure olive oil is heated when it is processed, while virgin is "cold pressed" and has a milder flavor.
Since olive oil seems to be of special value to your cardiovascular system, strongly consider it when you are opting for "good" fats in your diet.
