Montola high oleic oils & your health

What does "oleic" mean?

There are many different ways to name different fatty acids. "Oleic" fatty acids are the same as the more popular term "monounsaturated" fatty acids. Experts recommend that we include more of these fatty acids in our diets, and Montola high oleic sunflower and safflower oils contain 80-87% monounsaturated fat! (1)

Why are high oleic oils so healthy?

Research has shown that including sources of monounsaturated fatty acids in the diet beneficially impacts health, including effects on LDL oxidation, insulin sensitivity, and other cardiovascular risk factors (2). In other words, those mono fats are good for your heart!
