Which cooking oil has the least saturated fats?

Question

I've heard fish oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil.
Can anyone give a saturated fat content for these?

Answer 1

Don't let the fear of trans fats in margarine lure you to the butter dish. Butter contains far more artery-clogging fat than margarine. Many of the tub margarines and spreads now available contain little or no trans fats. Check the label to be sure that liquid oil is the first ingredient. A tub margarine is usually a better choice than stick margarine.

Oil is oil. All fats or oils get 100% of their calories from fat. No oil is "less fatty" than another. Whether it's palm oil or canola, one tablespoon packs about 120 calories and 14 grams of fat.

Olive oil is considered by some to be a "healthful" choice because it's primarily monounsaturated fat.

When it comes to choosing an oil, canola runs a close race with olive oil. Olive oil has a bit more monounsaturated fat than canola, but canola oil is the lowest in saturated fat.

The bottom line, less is better, when it comes to deciding how much fat or oil you should eat. If you want to cut your dietary fat intake, you'll need to eat less butter, margarine, and oil-no matter what type. Worried about not getting enough fat? Most whole grains, fruits, veggies and beans contain small amounts of fat, so there's little chance of a fat deficiency in a varied diet.

When less is more. If you are using less oil, choose ones that give you the most flavor-like extra virgin olive oil in salad dressings, and peanut or sesame oil in stir-fries.

Olive oil is lower when it comes to saturated fat content. When I cook I prefer to cook with olive oil.
