“The polyunsaturated fatty acids are “essential” to be provided by the diet, and, unlike saturated fats, they do not accumulate in the body for storage.”
- The polyunsaturated fatty acids corn oil, soybean oil, safflower oil and sunflower oil are long chain triglyceride or LCT-oils.

To cut a long story short, as LCTs are digested, the bonds holding the individual fatty acids together are broken. They are eventually packaged into little bundles of fat and protein called lipoproteins. As they circulate, small particles of fat are released from the lipoproteins into the bloodstream. “This the source of the fat that collects in our fat cells and the source of the fat that collects in and clogs artery walls.”

Very few people know that there is more than one type of saturated fat. Coconut oil is 92% saturated but mostly medium chain triglycerides (MCT). MCTs are unlike LCTs. Their absorption, transport, metabolism and uses are completely different. Just my two cents.

Like any engine, our body needs not only an excellent fuel (good food), but also very good oils (called “unsaturated”).

Setting aside the outset of trans fatty acids, (which form toxic isomeric polyunsaturated fatty acids), the most harmf…
