Which is better, vegetable oil or animal oil?

It's better to eat plants People are afraid of cardiovascular disease, so they don't dare to eat animal oil, and only eat vegetable oil, which is wrong. Because people lack animal oil, they will also suffer from glass, animal oil and vegetable oil, and the main component is fat.

What is the difference between vegetable oil and animal oil?

The biggest difference between vegetable oil and animal oil is that the former has a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids, while the latter has a higher content of saturated fatty acids. Consuming too much saturated fatty acids may raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the risk of cardiovascular disease is relatively low due to the consumption of vegetable oils, but it is not absolute, for example, tropical plants** are higher in saturated fatty acids such as coconut oil and palm oil.

Vegetable oil or animal oil? It depends on what you want to do

The key to choosing which edible oil to choose depends on your daily diet composition and consumption style. Most vegetable oils have low melting points and are mostly liquid at room temperature, which is suitable for cold dressing and low-temperature cooking, and is less suitable for frying; Animal oil and some vegetable oils (such as palm oil and coconut oil) are more suitable for high-temperature frying.

In addition, if you usually eat a lot of pork, beef and mutton, try to choose vegetable oil; Correspondingly, if you are basically vegetarian, you can also cook with animal oil in moderation.

1.Eat oil in moderation. According to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", the recommended daily intake of edible oil per person is 25-30g, and the amount can be controlled by using an oil control pot when stir-frying.

2.Use the oil correctly. It is recommended to use steaming, boiling, stewing or blanching in home cooking methods to minimize frying and avoid reheating the same pot of oil multiple times.

3.Nutritionally balanced. Due to the different fatty acid composition of different oils and fats, the nutritional value is also different, so it is best to eat different types of edible oil.

Questioner says that oil with less saturated fatty acids and more unsaturated fatty acids is a good oil, so should we use vegetable oil instead of animal oil?

Wishing you good health This criterion is desirable, but it does not mean that all vegetable oils are healthier than animal oils, depending on the fatty acid content of each oil. Duck fat is animal oil, but it contains nearly half of the saturated fatty acids than palm oil in vegetable oil, and the content of monounsaturated fatty acids is also higher than that of soybean oil and peanut oil. Although palm oil is a vegetable oil, its saturated fatty acid content is almost the same as that of lard.

So it can't be generalized.

Questioner: So how to use oil scientifically in daily cooking?

Wishing you good health Nutritionists recommend that we use different oils for different cooking scenarios, rather than one oil for all. If you need to stir-fry or fry dishes at high temperatures, you can use peanut oil; When eating cold dishes, olive oil, tea oil, and sesame oil are all good choices; Soybean oil, sunflower oil, and corn oil are suitable for daily stir-frying. Coconut oil and palm oil are not recommended at any time.

I wish you good health Oil also has a shelf life, and the kitchen environment is also easy to oxidize and deteriorate the oil, so it is recommended to buy a small bottle of oil when buying oil, and replace it with new oil when it is used up. At the same time, it is best not to place the oil bottle too close to the stove, so as not to shorten the "life" of the oil due to high temperatures.

I think vegetable oil is better because the nutrient content of vegetable oil is relatively high.

It's all good, it's not good to only eat vegetable oil or animal oil if it's not tender.

Because vegetable oil is much healthier than animals, animal butter is better.

Of course, vegetable oil is better! Because vegetable oil is much, much healthier than animals.

In fact, it is good to eat vegetable oil, because animal oil is too high in fat calories.

Take animal and vegetable butter as an example, animal butter is better.

Both of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, depending on individual tastes.

These two oils should be eaten together alternately, and there is no saying which is better.

Animal and vegetable fats mainly have triglycerides as their basic structure, and triglycerides are formed from fatty acids and glycerol. According to the different structures of fatty acids, they can be divided into saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids.

Generally speaking, most vegetable oils contain more unsaturated fatty acids; The fat content of animal foods varies according to the type and the first part of the food, and terrestrial animal fats such as lard and cream contain more saturated fatty acids.

The effects of saturated fatty acids on human health are manifested in high intake, which may be associated with hyperlipidemia and the development of certain tumors. It is also believed that saturated fatty acids may be one of the risk factors for the development of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, saturated fatty acids form esters with cholesterol, which are easy to deposit in the intima of the arteries, causing arteriosclerosis.

Cholesterol is found in animal foods (the cholesterol content in animal meat is about the same, fatty meat is higher than lean meat, offal is higher than fatty meat, and the brain is the highest).

In recent years, the relationship between unsaturated fatty acids and chronic diseases has also become a hot topic. Studies have found that unsaturated fatty acids may play a positive role in the occurrence and development of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Vegetable oil is better, and the plant body is relatively healthier.

The biggest difference between vegetable oil and animal oil is that animal oil contains cholesterol, while vegetable oil does not contain this ingredient at all.

As for whether the content of saturated fatty acids in fat is high or low, it does not really mean whether animal fat or vegetable oil is used. Chicken and duck fat contains more unsaturated fatty acids, which is higher than palm oil; The unsaturated fat content of fish fat is equivalent to that of peanut oil and sesame oil.

Coconut oil is known to have the highest saturated fatty acid content, followed by palm kernel oil, which is a vegetable oil. Even the cocoa butter in chocolate is higher in saturated fatty acids than lard.

Therefore, it is not accurate to blindly say that animals have fat and saturated fat, and vegetable oil contains unsaturated fat. It should be said that the cooking oils commonly used by Chinese, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, etc., have more unsaturated fatty acids than common pigs, cattle and sheep.

Whether it is better to eat animal oil or vegetable oil has always been a matter of debate. Which oil is good to eat? This starts with the characteristics of the two oils.

1. Animal oil and vegetable oil contain different ingredients. Animal oil mainly contains saturated fatty acids, and the melting point of saturated fatty acids is high; Vegetable oils mainly contain unsaturated fatty acids, which have a low melting point. Vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature, and animal oils are generally solid.

Therefore, it is generally believed that saturated fatty acids with high melting points are easy to coagulate and precipitate on the blood vessel wall, resulting in arteriosclerosis; Unsaturated fatty acids with low melting points are not easy to coagulate and precipitate on the blood vessel wall. 2. Animal oil and vegetable oil are the main types of fat-soluble vitamins. Animal oil mainly contains vitamin A and vitamin D, which are closely related to human growth and development.

Vegetable oil mainly contains vitamin E and vitamin K, which are closely related to the function of the blood and reproductive system. 3. Animal oil contains more cholesterol, which has important physiological functions in the human body, but if the cholesterol in the blood of middle-aged and elderly people is too high, it is easy to get arteriosclerosis, hypertension and other diseases. Vegetable oil does not contain cholesterol, but contains plant sterols such as stigmasterol and sitosterol.

Plant sterols are not only not absorbed by the body, but they also prevent the body from absorbing cholesterol. 4. The amount of unsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids contained in vegetable oil is higher than that of animal oil. This is because the more unsaturated fatty acids, the lower the melting point, the easier it is to be absorbed by the body, essential fatty acids are indispensable substances for human metabolism, and the renewal of biofilm structure will be affected without it.

Essential fatty acids also contribute to the conversion of cholesterol into bile salts. Preventing cholesterol from being deposited on the walls of blood vessels has a certain effect on preventing arteriosclerosis. According to the characteristics of the above two oils, people can choose to eat, for the elderly and people with cardiovascular diseases, to eat less animal oil, mainly vegetable oil, which is conducive to physical health; For growing teenagers, it is not necessary to be too restrictive in animal oil.

In addition, in order to avoid excessive intake of animal fat, in addition to pork, attention should be paid to the appropriate selection of some low-fat meats, such as beef, mutton, chicken, fish, etc., and the meat should also be diversified.

In fact, animal oil and vegetable oil have their own benefits, animal oil is easier to absorb, and the nutritional value is higher, but if it is animal oil alone, it is easy to get high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and the like, which is not good for the body, and it is not good to eat plants alone, and the best thing is to mix oil, which is better.

Vegetable oil is good. Vegetable oil can play a preventive role in atherosclerosis, mainly because vegetable oil, on the one hand, can provide the human body with more essential amino acids, and is an unsaturated fatty acid. Unsaturated fatty acids promote the oxidation of cholesterol in the body to bile acids and the redistribution of cholesterol in the blood plasma, which can eliminate the protein part of lipoproteins, which will reduce damage to the blood vessel wall.

Various animal oils contain a large amount of saturated fatty acids, which can increase blood cholesterol after use, so from the perspective of health and prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, it is better to eat vegetable oil than animal oil.

It is good to eat vegetable oil. The best way to eat oil is to eat vegetable oil and animal oil alternately.

Vegetable oils contain unsaturated fatty acids, while animal oils contain saturated fats to prevent acids and cholesterol. The intake of saturated fatty acids in the diet will affect blood lipid levels, and excessive intake of saturated fatty acids can easily cause obesity, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the intake of saturated fatty acids.

It is best to use vegetable oil for stir-frying, which is relatively healthy. Animal oil is not very good for stir-frying, which contains saturated fatty acids, which is not conducive to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

From a health point of view, vegetable oils are better. Because vegetable oil is lower than animal fat, and the nutrients in it, such as minerals and vitamins, are high. Especially the brand's free tour, so you should choose the latter.

Vegetable oil is good, vegetable oil is relatively healthy, animal oil is high in fat cholesterol, and it is not good for the body.

Vegetable oil is better.

Common vegetable oils such as soybean oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, corn oil, olive oil, etc.

Vegetable oil should be the main choice of cooking oil. Due to the nutritional characteristics of different vegetable oils, the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents suggest that the type of cooking oil should be changed frequently and a variety of vegetable oils should be consumed. If you buy a variety of oils to eat, the consumption rate is too slow and easy to expire, when buying cooking oil, you can mainly use small packages and replace them regularly.

When storing vegetable oil, you should pay attention to the following:

1. Avoid light, under light conditions, it will accelerate the oxidation of oil.

2. Isolate the air, and choose to use green or brown glass bottles or ceramic utensils. The container containing the oil should be kept clean and dry, and the cork or bottle cap should be tightly plugged after the oil is filled, so as not to create conditions for oxidation of the oil.

3. Put the container containing oil in a cool and ventilated place to prevent the temperature from being too high and exposed to sunlight.

4. Remove the oil feet and impurities in the oil in time, and pay special attention not to bring water into the oil, and the mixed water should be heated and evaporated before bottling.

Neither is better between vegetable oil and animal oil, because vegetable oil and animal oil have their own advantages and disadvantages.

1. Advantages of vegetable oil.

Different vegetable oils have different fatty acid compositions and different nutritional characteristics. For example, olive oil is rich in oleic acid and a variety of vitamins, which is suitable for human intake. At the same time, soybean oil, corn oil, etc. contain a large amount of linoleic acid, which is better for blood lipids if properly consumed.

2. The shortcomings of vegetable oil call dry.

Whether it is a large intake of vegetable oil or a long-term lack of oil intake, it may lead to damage to heart and brain function.

3. Advantages of animal oil.

It has a high content of saturated fat, and in a high-temperature cooking environment, there is no violent oxidation of vegetable oils and holes, so relatively few toxic substances are released, and in addition, animal oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids, most of which are oleic acid, which is a relatively healthy fat.

4. Disadvantages of animal oil.

Because the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids in animal oil is too small and there is too much saturated fat, if you consume animal oil excessively for a long time, it may affect blood lipid levels and cause arteriosclerosis. Therefore, whether animal oil is good or not depends mainly on intake, if you only eat animal oil occasionally, the general impact on health is not very large.

Which is healthier, vegetable oil or animal oil.

Sun Yu, Deputy Chief Physician.

Breast Surgery, Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University.

Vegetable oil and animal oil are both oils that we should consume, and the two cannot replace each other. Vegetable oil is rich in linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid and other unsaturated fatty acids necessary for human health, which have the effect of reducing cholesterol sources, softening blood vessels and preventing arteriosclerosis. Vegetable oil has the benefits of animal oil incomparable to hail, but on the other hand, animal oil also has its benefits, animal oil is rich in vitamin A and vitamin D, which plays an important role in human growth and development, and moderate consumption can also protect the heart.

The vegetable oil contains a plant sterol, which can not only not be absorbed by the human body, but also inhibits the absorption of cholesterol by the human body, which will seriously affect the growth of the body for people in the development period, so the two oils are eaten together to control the intake of the two oils, and then make full use of the advantages of the two oils.
