Abstract in brief

  • Higher intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from plant oils is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and replacing saturated fats with PUFA can reduce these risks.
  • Clinical trials show that consuming plant oils high in unsaturated fats does not increase inflammation or oxidative stress, and actually helps improve key risk factors for heart health.
  • Health guidelines recommend using non-tropical vegetable oils rich in monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) instead of saturated fats from sources like butter, lard, and coconut oil for a healthier diet.
