Abstract
Research performed on oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) confirms results from previous studies that not all oils have the same effect on plasma cholesterol. MUFA-rich oleic acid, as opposed to polyunsaturated linoleic acid, is considered neutral and more cholesterol-lowering. This can be attributed to the content of some fatty acids and the non-saponifiable fractions of the various monounsaturated oils.
