Updated food oil analysis file

December 29, 2001

Hi All,

I have updated my excel oil analysis file with 13 different oils and fats.

The Plaque Formation Index (based on the sensitivity of the fat / oil to

oxidation, based on the number of double bonds

in the fatty acid) goes from 32 for Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) to 1,035 for Flax

oil. Olive oil rates 363. While intakes

of high levels of Vit E will of course reduce free radical peroxidation of the

mono and poly fatty acids, the relative

nature of the peroxidative risk to the long chain mono & poly fatty acids being

transported in LDL cholesterol stays the

same.

Or to make it simple. It is only peroxidized (attacked by free radical) long

chain mono & poly fatty acids in LDL

cholesterol which mainly form blood vessel plaques.

Short, medium and long saturated fats can't be oxidized and short & medium

saturated fats don't need LDL cholesterol for

transport through the body. VCO is the richest source of short & medium chain

fatty acids and has the lowest LDL index

of any fat / oil.
