A popular myth about vegetable oil has been dispelled: many people don’t even suspect that sunflower or olive oil is healthier
It so happens that when it comes to healthy eating, in addition to vegetables and fruits, olive oil is always included.
Moreover, it is used for preparing salads, soups, preserves and other dishes. Sunflower oil is called less healthy. Is it true?
There is an opinion that olive [oil] is better than sunflower oil. In fact, this is not true. They are both useful and are not a substitute for each other due to their different compositions and value for the body. We are analyzing unrefined oils, not confusing them with refined oils, - nutritionist Kristina Voit said in an interview with NEWS.ru.
Unrefined olive and sunflower oils have different compositions and values for the body, so they are not interchangeable.
Unrefined oils contain fats that are beneficial for the nervous and hormonal systems of the human body.
They improve the functioning of the gallbladder and the nutrition of body tissues.
Therefore, the unrefined vegetable oils discussed can be called a source of fats in the daily diet.
