Margarine and omega-6-rich oils are healthier

It's commonly believed that substituting vegetable oils for animal fats in foods like margarine and canola oil can improve your health. However, this is probably not the case, according to the results of recent research.

Omega-6 fats are abundant in margarine and some vegetable oils, such as canola and soybean oil. Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are both necessary for health, but modern diets frequently include far too much omega-6 and far too little omega-3. Increased inflammation and the development of harmful medical diseases have been linked to this imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fat consumption. In fact, a higher omega-6 to omega-3 ratio has been linked to health problems like mental decline, obesity, insulin resistance, mood disorders, and mood disorders. Many vegetable oil blends, butter substitutes, and low-fat dressings contain canola oil. Despite being promoted as healthful, research suggests that using this oil may be detrimental to many aspects of one's health.
