Polyunsaturated fats - beneficial effect on your health when consumed in moderation and when used to replace saturated fats or trans fats.

Polyunsaturated fats can help reduce the cholesterol levels in your blood and lower your risk of heart disease.

They also provide essential fats that your body needs but can’t produce itself – such as omega-6 and omega-3. Your body needs these fats for healthy cell development.

Omega-6 and omega-3 play a crucial role in brain function and in the normal growth and development of your body.

Which Food can it be found?

Most foods contain a combination of fats. Foods high in polyunsaturated fat include a number of vegetable oils, including soybean oil, corn oil and safflower oil, as well as fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring and trout. Other sources include some nuts and seeds.

The fats in the foods you eat should not total more than 25–35 percent of the total calories you eat that day and, for good health, the majority of those fats should be monounsaturated, polyunsaturated or both.

Caution
The polyunsaturated fats used to make margarine are generally obtained from vegetable sources: sunflower seed, cottonseed, and soybean.

Polyunsaturated fats (PUFs) are greatly immunosuppressive, and anything that suppresses the immune system is likely to cause cancer.But it is used to prevent kidney rejection after transplant.

Many laboratories have shown that diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids promote tumours. Cancer promotion is not the same as cancer causing

Saturated fats are stable. They do not oxidise and form free radicals.

Unfortunately, as polyunsaturated fatty acids are also essential to the body; we must have some. So a proper balance must be struck. Whether the dramatic increase in the numbers of cancers in the last century was as a result of a similarly dramatic rise in our intake of polyunsaturated vegetable oils is not known — but the evidence strongly favours such a conclusion.
