Cardiologist Sheds Light on Making Healthier Choices in Cooking Oil

Renowned cardiologist, Dr Monisola Adanijo has emphasized the significance of checking labels when purchasing cooking oil.

“Consumers should pay attention to the composition of fats in cooking oils. This can have a significant impact on heart health.” Advised Adanijo

According to her, one aspect consumers should consider is the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to saturated fatty acids. PUFAs, such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, are beneficial for heart health. Consumers should look for oils with higher levels of PUFAs.

She notes that consumers should be wary of the saturated fat content listed on cooking oil labels, as excessive consumption of saturated fats can increase cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. “Choosing oils with lower levels of saturated fats is advisable,” warns Dr. Adanijo

The shelves are lined with bottles of various shapes and sizes, each boasting its enticing combination of benefits.

“As I approached the end of the aisle, my gaze fell upon the label of Golden Terra Soya Oil—a standout option for health-conscious consumers.
